It was; everything is installed now.

In addition to:

users:
        rt group (GETMOTIVATEDdomain) ...MISSING
        bin owner (GETMOTIVATEDjay.ashworth) ...MISSING
        libs owner (GETMOTIVATEDjay.ashworth) ...MISSING
        libs group (GETMOTIVATEDdomain) ...MISSING
        web owner (GETMOTIVATEDjay.ashworth) ...MISSING
        web group (GETMOTIVATEDdomain) ...MISSING

I now get, at the end:

/usr/bin/install -c -m 0755 -o GETMOTIVATED\jay.ashworth -g GETMOTIVATED\domain -d /appl/rt405/etc
/usr/bin/install: invalid user `GETMOTIVATEDjay.ashworth'
make: *** [config-install] Error 1

It's relatively clear to me that the build machinery does *not* contemplate
usernames which contain spaces and backslashes, as winbind usernames and 
group names will -- and probably not ones which don't exist on the local 
machine, either.

I'm not sure what's the best approach to this; I'm probably not competent
to implement a global solution, suitable for a patch; I'm at the edge of my
skillset working in that environment myself.

Suggestions?

Cheers,
