What it says is that an unprefixed name in a domain defaults to the name as if
prefixed by the primary domain, so if you want the local SAM entry on a domain
machine ($USERDOMAIN != $COMPUTERNAME), you must prefix the name with the local
machine name followed by "+".
Should the local machine name provided be $COMPUTERNAME or $HOSTNAME?
Windows normally allows "." to be used to refer to the local machine name in a
domain context - can anyone confirm or deny whether this works in Cygwin or with
getent?
