On second thought, it's completely wrong to allow printing local
accounts from another machine without prefix.

In theory there should be only one option -l [machine], which prints the
local accounts of the current machine unprefixed (standalone machine) or
prefixed (domain machine), and always prefixed for a foreign machine.
The -L option can just go away.
