OK, I never encountered this, but then I've only three
networks to examine and nobody came forward with any comments
before.

So, what to do...

1) go back to only adding local users
2) keep things the way they are, somehow detecting whether
   the user is running on a domain or not...
3) only add the current user
4) output local *and* domain (or current) if on a domain
5) something else...

Personally, I prefer 2, but given the above, I don't
know how to detect whether I'm a member of a domain or not.

Can folks please offer instruction?
