We had been running with these idmap settings for an AD integrated file
server.

 idmap uid = 16777216-33554431
 idmap gid = 16777216-33554431
 idmap backend = rid:"US=16777216-33554431"

After the upgrade to CentOS 5.1 our winbind mappings were lost and group
permissions were no longer working. Reading the Samba release notes and
trawling the net I found the below settings, although as it has been
pointed out the "idmap alloc config" is not required. With these
settings all winbind mappings were restored and everything seems to be
working as normal.

    idmap domains = US
    idmap config US: default = yes
    idmap config US: backend = rid
    idmap config US: range = 16777216-33554431
    idmap alloc config: range = 16777216-33554431

Thank you for you're reply, but mentioned configuration breaks "getent 
passwd" in our setup. Getent group works, and wbinfo -u also works. Have 
anybody an idea what else can cause samba winbind on CentOS4.6 to fail?
