Hi,
I would like to get your opinion about the following proposal:
Have samba-tool user and group management subcommands automatically
allocate (if use-rfc2307 is in effect) uid/gid (xid) numbers based on
the allocated RID, with the following algorithm:
1. Check if uid=RID and gid=RID isn't allocated yet, if not allocate it
2. If it is already allocated find the next free value (this part is
going to be tricky with the RID pool)
At the same time it could create the loginShell and unixHomedirectory
attributes for the user based on the winbind templates (if not specified
on the command line)
Thank you!
Cheers
