[Samba] help, we are running out of idmap uids

[Hans B. Randgaard]

Dear Samba experts,

 

Initially we set up winbind to the following:

 

        idmap uid = 10000-20000

 

thinking that 10000 uids were sufficient

for the number of users we would get.

We also have defined our UNIX users

from 20001 onwards.

 

However, now I can see that our latest

windows(idmap uid) users has uid 19123

and this troubles me.

 

Since I cannot just "extend" the range to

be say 10000-30000 because of our UNIX

UIDs, I would like to ask if it is possible to

define 2 ranges like:

 

     idmap uid = 10000-20000,30000-40000

 

I noticed that winbind will not automatically

remove UIDs not used. For instance when

a windows user is deleted. Is there a way

to do this manually ?

And will winbind then use the "unused" UIDs ?

 

Kind regards, Hans.
