I understand that this just creates the need to run some
chown/chgrp-commands after correcting smb.conf and restarting samba?

I am never sure how to specify $domain in the 2nd two settings here.

In this case the Domain is called ABC.XYZ and for example:


# net ads info | grep Realm
ABC.XYZ

and in smb.conf

workgroup = XYZ
realm =ABC.XYZ

and in krb5.conf

default_realm = ABX.XYZ

so is it ->

idmap config XYZ : backend = rid

or

idmap config ABC.XYZ : backend = rid

?

Yes. I just try to stay at the versions the stable repos give me ...

ok

looking forward to correct that, thanks!
