[Samba] Unable to start Winbind

[Tim Barone]

Hello,  I am fairly new to Linux.  I am trying to set up a Linux file server 
and join it to a Windows 2000 domain.  All that I need to do is to be able 
to get files from the Linux file server and put files on it.  I do not want 
it to be the domain controller.  Ironically, I had it working last week, but 
could only access one drive on the server, started playing around trying to 
access other drives and messed things up, re-installed Linux (4 times now), 
and attempted to duplicate my configurations.  Winbind will not start.  I 
have tried to start it by:  1)  winbindd 2) /etc/init.d/winbind start 3) 
service winbind restart

It fails to start each time.   Looking in the winbindd.log file it tells me:

winbindd:  idmap uid range missing or invalid
.......
winbindd:  cannot continue, exiting

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!!!

Thanks, Tim
