Hello list,

since we're going to authenticate all users against AD and winbind I'm
asking myself if I need idmap_ldap in my setup. We will have a DC,
mainly for citrix, in a single domain in every branch, smb.conf will be
mostly the same for every server. Will idmap use the same mapping on
every server? Esp: on my main server I got uid=10001, will in branch a)
the user assigned the same uid 10001? OR should i setup ldap on our main
server and configure it on every branch server for r/w? Should the main
LDAP replicate to the branches and have there a local ldap, too, for
speed-reasons or when the WAN-link kicked the bucket?

Qustions over questions ;)

Cheers

Matthias
