??? Really?
But how is that compatible with Win's USERNAME?  ...
I even use Domain\User on my linux domain server!  So that would
conflict, by default.  When I login to linux from win, it logs in
as Domain\User.  Not entirely right for a PDC but at least somewhat
consistent.  Domain+User would be entirely broken.

Yes -- I have added '\' to my allowed userID set on linux
in /etc/login.defs.
