Christoph: That's an interesting question because "getent passwd" loads every user on my Win 2k3 domain. This machine is authenticated to the domain controller via Samba ADS.

# getent passwd

real 0m2.246s
user 0m0.016s
sys 0m0.012s

#time getent passwd |wc -l
3964

Thats a lot of users!

Is there a way to limit fast-user-switch to local users only? Certain proprietary applications require me to be authenticated to the domain or I wouldn't need Samba ADS at all.
