In smb.conf [globals] add:
	idmap uid = 10000-15000
	idmap gid = 10000-15000

	passdb backend = tdbsam, guest

That should get the gasses roaring.

Yep! the NUA stuff got dropped, unless you run ldapsam. In the case of
ldapsam the meaning of NUA is a little warped! :) Better ask an IDMAP guru
what is warped! :)

Just try the above. IF it works let me know where to send the invoice -
price today is a smile. If not paid on time, the price goes up to two
smiles. :-))
