I need to create a local user with the same name as a domain user under CentOS with Likewise installed.

When I use Useradd it says user exists, because a domain user with the same name exists.

It is a service account for backup and does not work using a domain account. On machines where the local account was added before likewise was installed it works fine.

Is there a way to temporarily disable this check?
