Description:
When adding a user or group without defining a uidNumber/gidNumber, it results in "Cannot get domain info". [[BR]] [[BR]]

With a Range defined:[[BR]]
I would expect a better error message such as "UID/GID is required" or even "The selected UID/GID is outside all domain ranges"[[BR]] [[BR]]

With a Range undefined: [[BR]]
I would expect the user or group to be added successfully with the next available ID number. Just like the shadow utils. [[BR]] [[BR]]

Version Tested:
sssd-2009081709-0.fc11.i586

This bug is present when attempting to run the sss_tools against an SSSD configuration with no provider=local domain configured.

We are currently debating whether to remove the ability to add a legacy user or group with the sss_tools. If we decide to do this, the error message will be changed to reflect that no local domain can be found.

If we decide to leave the legacy add/remove support in place, we will change the initialization code here to reflect that a provider=files domain is permissible.

As per #167 we are removing the functionality altogether. Fix was present in patchset sent for review, must remove it in next iteration.
