OK, I see where you are coming from, but until testparm starts saying 'this
will not work because' people will keep on having problems with winbind,
also why do you need to set up the ranges anyway. The user and group ranges
are already set by the admin in uidNumber & gidNumber, so again why do they
need setting in smb.conf, IMHO the setting should be 'idmap config:backend
= ad' and that should make winbind pull all the rfc2307 items for a user or
group
