--owner does not recognize my username or group

[eflyon]

Describe the bug you encountered:

I get errors about my user and group not being recognized when I try to use them in an --owner search. Some users and groups are recognized, which appear to be only those described in /etc/passwd or /etc/group (root, service users). My user and group come from Active Directory.

elyon$ fd -o root
foo/baz
elyon$ fd -o elyon
[fd error]: 'elyon' is not a recognized user name
elyon$ fd -o :foobar
[fd error]: 'foobar' is not a recognized group name
elyon$ fd -o sssd . /etc
/etc/sssd
elyon$ id
uid=14485(elyon) gid=14034(foobar)

Describe what you expected to happen:
Expected success, as with sssd in example above.

What version of fd are you using?

fd 8.2.1 (from fd-v8.2.1-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz in Releases)

Which operating system / distribution are you on?

Linux 3.10.0-1160.31.1.el7.x86_64 x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation 7.9 (Maipo)

fd uses the rust-users crate to lookup the user, and that in turn calls getpwnam_r. I'm not sure why that wouldn't return the uid for your user.

As you suggest, it appears to be a musl/rust-users problem. I did a build with glibc (couldn't use the released one because it required a newer glibc than the target system provided), and the problem went away.
