very slow logoff for clients authenticating via winbind

[Steve Rippl]

As we're grappling with this we've found that authentication is sped up 
if the client actually has a name, so on the server we're giving each 
client a dhcp reservation by it's mac address and assigning a unique 
name.  This is improving our performance in a number of ways, it seems 
various pieces were written expecting to get user on machine x etc.  
Don't know if this will help with the logout issue, we're using ldap and 
have some other problems!
