You need to create /etc/passwd and /etc/group files using mkpasswd and mkgroup. The domain I am in has around 3000 groups and lots of users. Enumerating all the users takes a while. All I need to do is (something like): mkgroup > /etc/group mkpasswd -l > /etc/passwd mkpasswd -d -u my_username >> /etc/passwd The first mkpasswd adds the local accounts and the second invocation adds my domain account. mkpasswd --help for more details. Then edit /etc/passwd and change your home directory a local path - perhaps /home/username. If you have multiple users you must ensure that they are all listed in the passwd file.
