and by the way... don't waste time trying to authenticate users/groups
that don't exist.

If they don't show up when you give commands like...

getent passwd
getent group

you aren't going to be able to authenticate... the system doesn't see
them. You can't authenticate users that don't exist. Likewise, groups
that don't exist or memberships to groups that don't exist are a
problem.
