Thank you to all.

Yes, your answers concur with what I thought. Only, it only works for users 
local to the machine, i.e. they exist in /etc/passwd and so forth.
For users being authenticated - and hence auto created - by means of winbind 
and AD, it doesn't work. It's got to be somewhere else, perhaps on the AD 
machine (sigh..).

Well, I still learned from this, I didn't know about the YaST thing...

Thanks again!
