[Samba] Where is the winbindd_idmap.tdb?

[Gaiseric Vandal]

Check the man page for idmap_rid.

        The idmap_rid backend provides a way to use an algorithmic mapping
        scheme to map UIDs/GIDs and SIDs. No database is required in 
this case
        as the mapping is deterministic.

I think it calculates the uid and gid, rather than just assigning uid 
and gid values sequentially as needed.  Therefore you don't need the 
database to track the allocations.  You would have a cached file for 
performance tho.

the id command (e.g. id "MYDOMAIN\myname" ) should verify that winbind 
users are getting an id allocated.
