Re: Simplify AD integration?

I misremembered, it currently only checks for "mkpasswd", "mkgroup" and
"group_GID_clash" and only warns about this and admonishes the user to
run:

 "mkpasswd -l [-d] > /etc/passwd"
 "mkgroup  -l [-d] > /etc/group"

It doesn't actually run those commands.  But both the warnings and the
possible remedies might have to be removed or adapted.

Achim.
