[Samba] Consistent UID/GID mappings?

[Alexandre Beauclair]

Following all your recommendations, I switched over to SSSD.
After a bit of fiddling, I got it working, and everything works like a charm!

Thanks to all of you for the support!

The member machine has no trouble reading it from the UNIX attributes, but it doesn't seem to be able to from the Samba4 Server. It keeps pointing to /home/DOMAIN/username, which I believe is the default for Samba4. Is there some place else I have to configure it? Looking at my previous problems, I'm beginning to think I'm just not looking at the right place to configure these...

On the DC, winbind can't fetch anything other than uidNumber and
gidNumber. Use nslcd or sssd instead. In fact, use them on all your
Linux boxes.
