Hm... This still under question...

I have a test setup where 'security = server' and all user/group data is
supposed to be stored in LDAP. With Samba 3.0beta2 this no longer works.

[global]
	# guest is added automatically, nothing changes if it is 
	# specified here as well
	passdb backend = ldapsam 

	security = server
	
	idmap backend = ldap:ldap://localhost/
	ldap idmap suffix = ou=Idmap,$DNBASE
	idmap uid         = 40000-50000
	idmap gid         = 40000-50000

	ldap suffix = $DNBASE
	ldap machine suffix = ou=Computers
	ldap user suffix = ou=Users
	ldap admin dn = "cn=Administrator,ou=Users,$DNBASE"
	
	winbind separator = +
	winbind enum groups = true
	winbind enum users = true

All my users are in ou=Users,$DNBASE, idmap entries in ou=Idmap,$DNBASE,
machine accounts are in ou=Computers,$DNBASE.

This is a test setup from scratch using attached ldif file. smbpasswd
succesfully added users to LDAP and allocated UIDs for them.

Winbindd starts successfuly for first time and creates
uidNumber=99,ou=Idmap,$DNBASE entry with correct sambaIdmapEntry values.

However, winbindd fails to start second time saying:
