And the only thing in set_security_attribute() which could take a lot
of time is the call to LookupAccountName() which is only called if
the /etc/passwd file doesn't contain the SID for the user *and*
which can only take a lot of time if the machine is asking a DC.
OTOH, set_security_attribute() cant have been called, otherwise
it would have left footprints in the strace output.
