That's kind of not what I would expect from Linux system.
smbldap-tools were crude, but an order of magnitude more effective, as they
allowed me to have working installation for years without an issue other, than
inability to correctly join only Win7 machine I had in the network.
I have ~50 users in the domain, of them, 10 are Linux systems and 6 Windows,
25 are users that accessing Linux systems directly in one or another way, so
they do need correct uidNumber at all times, and 8 that only access Linux file
server through Samba share. While not necessary, I would still like to see
their SID's resolved to uid properly, when viewing the share from Linux side.
The last account? That is me. It have uid=1000 and is basically duplicated on
all Linux systems already.
