You can't use domain syntax in workgroup mode (which is what this flag 
enables).  You probably don't want this in your case.

2.0.38 would have had this warning as it was added a long time ago.  All 
users must at least alias to a real system user otherwise they won't be 
able to log in.

You should create user1 as a user on the domain if you want to log in, 
or alias them to a user on the domain (your choice).  This is unchanged 
from 2.0.38 though....
