Ok, so reading your patch, you just don't allow fully qualified 
usernames and return an error.  What if I have two users foo, one local 
to the machine, and one that is in the domain the machine is a member of?
How do I make the distinction?  Right now -u foo (by empirical evidence) 
translates to DOMAIN\foo; how to I specify LOCALMACHINE\foo?
