I would rather not change this at this point, until we can do a proper
do-over for idmapping on the AD DC.  The current situation sucks, but
we should limit the configurations we have deployed.  

In any case, the ypServ stuff in LDAP isn't much use any more, the
admin tools it helped make work are going away. 

There are as many (perhaps more) views on IDMAP amoung team members as
there are team members, and I would rather not change this until we can
get something that is a definite improvement. 

In that direction:  There is no good reason why Samba as an AD DC can't
use the real winbind idmap backends.  Naturally there is an upgrade
problem, but if you want to start on this, work out how to make
winbindd use idmap_ad et al and the nss info backends.  

Sorry,

Andrew Bartlett
