[K12OSN] winbind/gdm issues

[Huck]

I created all of my usernames in lowercase to avoid the case sensativity 
issue...
used *ducks* MS-Word to lowercase my entire text document with all my 
username Huckaby, David into huckaby david
for instance...(used it to remove the tabs and commas too, find and 
replace is your friend)

then used my nifty little python script(posted earlier this month and on 
some wiki) to generate my usernames in the method I liked...and into 
webmin batch format...
then used webmin to create accounts and voila!
