Re: Windows username in get_group_sidlist
Corinna
Now that get_group_sidlist () knows pw, it would be easy to
lookup the domain from passwd, instead of using LookupAccountSid.
This avoids over-the-network lookups for domain users.
I would actually read passwd by calling extract_nt_dom_user (),
modifying it to first read the domain from the passwd file, and
if that fails, use LookupAccountSid [currently it tries
LookupAccountSid first, getting the sid from passwd].
What do you think?

Actually it was Eudora. Don't know what happened. I may have
accidentally inserted a space.
