I'm afraid this is incorrect too:
Code:
$ grep 131 /etc/group
winbindd_priv:x:131:
$ id winbindd_priv
id: winbindd_priv: No such user
$ echo $?
1
$ id 131
id: 131: No such user
$ echo $?
1

sss_usermod

SSS_USERMOD(8)							 SSSD Manual pages						    SSS_USERMOD(8)

NAME

       sss_usermod - modify a user account

SYNOPSIS

       sss_usermod [options] LOGIN

DESCRIPTION

       sss_usermod modifies the account specified by LOGIN to reflect the changes that are specified on the command line.

OPTIONS

       -c,--gecos COMMENT
	   Any text string describing the user. Often used as the field for the user's full name.

       -h,--home HOME_DIR
	   The home directory of the user account.

       -s,--shell SHELL
	   The user's login shell.

       -a,--append-group GROUPS
	   Append this user to groups specified by the GROUPS parameter. The GROUPS parameter is a comma separated list of group names.

       -r,--remove-group GROUPS
	   Remove this user from groups specified by the GROUPS parameter.

       -l,--lock
	   Lock the user account. The user won't be able to log in.

       -u,--unlock
	   Unlock the user account.

       -Z,--selinux-user SELINUX_USER
	   The SELinux user for the user's login.

       -h,--help
	   Display help message and exit.

THE LOCAL DOMAIN

       In order to function correctly, a domain with "id_provider=local" must be created and the SSSD must be running.

       The administrator might want to use the SSSD local users instead of traditional UNIX users in cases where the group nesting (see
       sss_groupadd(8)) is needed. The local users are also useful for testing and development of the SSSD without having to deploy a full remote
       server. The sss_user* and sss_group* tools use a local LDB storage to store users and groups.
