Sorry Rowland, you're right about SID, but... if user has not activated
rfc2307 and NIS, the uid/gid -> SID relationship could be different on each
servers.

You can read it in "Possible problems, when RFC2307 is not used" section of
this document: 
https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Using_RFC2307_on_a_Samba_DC

That's what I meant before.

So... Why is there the need of copy idmap.ldb if rfc2307 and NIS are activated?
Just to understand.

rfc2307 isn't the default. 
Option --use-rfc2307 during domain provisioning is needed.

are xidNumber attribute stored in idmap.ldb?
