I'm reading the man page for idmap_rid over and over and I can't understand
it. I think it needs a rewrite so a normal user can understand. Using a
practical example.
Step 1: determine the highest UID in use for your /etc/passwd file
(can we assume everyone has a passwd file?)
Step 2: I don't know...
Optionally at this point, document how to plug that into the formula
RID = ID + BASE_RID - LOW_RANGE_ID
and then show how we set the lines:
range = low - high
base_rid = INTEGER
The man page examples do not line up with any numbers practical outside of
smb.conf
Say my UID on the Linux side would never exceed 70000. How do I configure
range and base_rid?
