bug in csih?

[Len Giambrone]

csih_use_file_etc returns 0 on my system (as it should with no passwd 
file, right?)

If so, then this block will not be executed:

      if ! csih_use_file_etc "passwd"
      then
        # This test succeeds on domain member machines only, not on DCs.
        if [ "\\\\${COMPUTERNAME,,*}" != "${LOGONSERVER,,*}" ]
        then
          # Lowercase of USERDOMAIN
          csih_PRIVILEGED_USERNAME="${COMPUTERNAME,,*}+${username}"
        fi
      fi

So I'm guessing you should remove the "!".
