I agree with you for the username-part. /etc/passwd is world-readable, also 
when I use LDAP without anonymous bind I could prevent that. 

But when there is a file like /srv/share/intern/dismissal_johndoe.sxw no one 
but the users in the group intern should be allowed (directory permissions  
set correctly) to see that file. I also can't think of any other way for 
getting that information.
