[Samba] Windows UIDs

[John Halfpenny]

hi all.

how does samba create its uids and gids from the windows domain? and what can i do to prevent it 'dropping' these mappings?

i've set up windows 2003 sfu to allow samba to map to the uid stored in active directory (by using sfu nis), is this the safest way to ensure folder permissions remain constant or am i being unnecessarily scared? :-)

thanks for any tips

john
