[Samba] RID numbers

[Andrey Nepomnyaschih]

Thanks for the answer Andrew,

I've got another question on the RID numbers.

It's a long time for now RIDs for users and groups should have been
calculated from uidNumber and gidNumber respectively. If I set RID of
user to anything else than (uidNumber * 2 + 1000) I'm asking for big
troubles. Is there any feature in plans to remove this requirement? And
does sambaGroupMapping class in schema solves this for groups?

Have a good time,
Andrey Nepomnyaschih

No, provided you correctly configure it, this is no longer required.

If you allocate 'idmap uid 10000-20000' then smbd will create accounts
in that range, if they don't already exist.  This will be tightened up a
little, but for machines should still work.
