[Samba] Winbind UID/GID mismatch!!

[Ross McInnes]

In a word... "O" :/

I did read that doc before, and didn’t think it would need to apply to me.

The problem I have is that the email and file store servers are separate,
but by using NFS I am able to over come the issue of "local folders"

It was whilst diagnosing a problem I found out about the id mis map :/

Any perticular preference on which method I need to use? Which is
better/easier to use/maintain?

Many thanks

Ross

The idmap-mapping (as stored in your local tdbs) assignes uids and gids in
the order they were requested on your system.

If you want to have unified mapping on all your servers then you must use
one of the idmap-modules described here:
