If you're on a domain, you wanted a domain user.  Then
you could ask mkpasswd and mkgroup to add the domain user,
which would have the domain user SID.  Alternatively, I think
you can get away with copying the entries in '/etc/passwd' and
'/etc/group' to "sunflower".  You'll have to be aware of this if
you update these files in the future with 'mkpasswd'/'mkgroup'.
I haven't tried doing this so it's possible that this won't work,
in which case you're back to the domain option.
