Complete new user here. Setting up my first samba configuration, using
samba 4.0.6 as a primary domain controller. I have user profiles, network
shares, active directory, and domain controller working. But I can not
understand how to map windows userid to linux userid (and map groupid as
well). I am struggling because much of the documentation is outdated and
meant for samba 3.x or targetted for samba as a domain member. I followed
some documentation to try the userid mapping through active directory, but
that required Microsoft services for Unix 3.5, which will not install on 64
versions of MS. I find myself without any orientation of how to proceed.
I am suffering from documentation overload, much of it contradictory or not
applicable. I am not even sure how to use winbind, or if that is required
for my situation. I really need a simple step by step howto that is
specific to samba 4 as a PDC. If you want to reference documentation,
great, but please reference specific sections instead of whole general
chapters. Any help greatly appreciated. Thank you.
