[Samba] Retry: Mapping AD domain users to UNIX users

[Nigel.Pain at scotland.gsi.gov.uk]

Further information:
 
Someone suggested that the problem might be because of the AD user names
being uppercase, which could be resolved with a usermap file. There are
some AD user IDs that are uppercase (whereas all the UNIX ones are
lowercase). However, I thought that the automatic mapping took care of
that? Also, I wanted to avoid having an explicit usermap file as that's
one extra thing to manage. Maybe I'm expecting too much of Samba?
 
I tried configuring for a usermap file and adding an account mapping
into it. However, the security properties on the Windows side still
display the account in the form:
 
u123456 (Unix User\u123456)
 
Regards,
Nigel
