[Samba] Samba 4, Winbind & RFC2307

Hello Takahashi,

I am using ADUC to manage UNIX attributes and have created the attributes
for each test user.

Just to make sure I understand you correctly; you're saying there is no way
to have S4 winbind use rfc2307 attributes for *nix authentication on a DC,
but it will work on a member server? This is a "clean" provision test setup
that I am running at home. In production (and testing at work) I will be
performing a classicupgrade. I have 300+ users with existing accounts
spread out across many servers. S3 (or it's LDAP backend) is used for auth
& auth on all of our services, so I need to ensure these attributes stay
the same. Worst case I can use NSS+LDAP, but I would prefer to use winbind
if possible.

Here I have NSS+LDAP configured and getent reports the correct uidNumber
and gidNumber that I have specified in AD (rfc2307 attributes):

root at ALW1:~# getent passwd | grep tuser
tuser1:*:10005:10000:Test User1:/home/tuser1:/bin/sh
tuser2:*:10006:10000:Test User2:/home/tuser2:/bin/sh
tuser3:*:10007:10000:Test User3:/home/tuser3:/bin/sh

Here (DC) I am using winbind for authentication, and getent does not report
the correct uidNumber and gidNumber:

[root at ADC1 ~]# getent passwd | grep tuser
TESTDOM\tuser1:*:3000025:100:Test User1:/home/tuser1:/bin/sh
TESTDOM\tuser2:*:3000026:100:Test User2:/home/tuser2:/bin/sh
TESTDOM\tuser3:*:3000027:100:Test User3:/home/tuser3:/bin/sh
