Winbind - functionality

[MICHAEL BROWN]

Correct me if I am wrong here guys, but this does not seem to work with the new schema on SAMBA 4 - Alpha 8?  Meaning, this may work on Windows 2003 extended schema (rfc2307) but this does not seem to work for SAMBA 4's schema that has the new attributes for storing GID/UID information, or rather the same way the POSIX schema used in OpenLDAP stored this information.  Hence, why I wanted to use nss-ldap.  All existing IDs still get mapped new UID/GID numbers per the "idmap uid =" setting when SAMBA 3 is joined to SAMBA 4.

Thanks.
