[Samba] Problem to map uidNumber and getting authentication to work

[Timo Aaltonen]

 	Hi!

   I'm trying to set up a samba client to authenticate from AD (Win2k8), by 
using rfc2307 schema mode to map uidNumber, gidNumber and unixHomeDirectory. 
The latter two seem to work, while uidNumber doesn't, at least according to 
'wbinfo -i $uid', which shows the uid as the default starting point '10000'.

Another problem is that getent passwd/group doesn't work at all, and because of 
that neither does authentication ('wbinfo -a/-K' works). I _do_ have winbind on 
/etc/nsswhitch.conf though, so I'm pretty much out of ideas about what's 
missing..

my smb.conf:

[global]
   workgroup = SHORTREALM
   realm = REALM
   security = ads
   use kerberos keytab = true
   idmap config SHORTREALM:schema_mode = rfc2307
   idmap config SHORTREALM:backend = ad
   idmap config SHORTREAlM:readonly = yes
   winbind nss info = rfc2307
   winbind use default domain = yes


I'm using Ubuntu 9.04 with samba 3.3.2, but I tried a backported 3.4.0 and 
it had the same problem.
