This is just an issue for first time installations, right? AFAICT,
/etc/passwd should not be produced if there is already a /etc/passwd.
Ditto /etc/group.
I guess the best solution is to present the user with several options
1) Create /etc/passwd using local accounts?
2) Create /etc/passwd using domain accounts?
3) Create /etc/passwd using local and domain accounts?
4) Don't create /etc/passwd
Then we have to remember what the user wanted.
