I had already read that, and it seems to indicate that it asks the
local machine first, but that doesn't seem to be happening when
there's a duplication.

I have a domain-joined machine, and I have a user account named
testuser that exists on the local computer and also in the domain.

'getent passwd testuser' returns the domain account, not the local
computer account.

Hence the question.

Regards,

Bill
