Alright, then the problem is somewhere else, maybe in winbindd. I just 
tried to use winbind, but got the same result.

This is what happens:

root at edjo[~]# wbinfo -s S-1-5-21-730796786-1604346809-928725530-1230
HNIRB\axel 1

This is correct. The user 'axel' exists on the samba server - in the yp 
map.

root at edjo[~]# ypmatch axel passwd
axel:*:1067:15:Axel Betanski:/homes/pooh/axel:/usr/local/bin/tcsh

So there already is a uid for him.

root at edjo[~]# wbinfo -S S-1-5-21-730796786-1604346809-928725530-1230
40000

Wrong! It should return the existing uid of 1067 instead of creating a 
new one.

I hope you understand the problem.

Regards,

Christopher
