[Samba] Samba file server permission/ownership - winbindd

Domain: NT4 domain controller
Samba: Suse 9.2 with Samba 3.0.9

Winbind seems to be the holy grail of account management in that I do not
have to create the users on every samba box just the NT4 domain
controller? Right?

I have an existing samba setup in which the users all had local accounts.
I would like to move this to a winbindd setup and eliminate that headache.

After doing some work and getting winbindd setup I notice that getent
passwd shows everyone with the same group ID and sequential user ID....
These in no way shape or form match the original UID/GID values...moving
the GID was not hard.

However, I am guessing I need to reassign the UID to what winbind says it
is?

Directory and file permissions should probably be 700?

Thanks,
