[Samba] Upgrade 4.8 to 4.9 with Backend-Change to lmdb?

Hi Rowland,

>>> - ( Domain Member settings and/or Stand-Alone installs )
>>> - Configure smb.conf  ( make sure you have configured the idmap

>>>        idmap config * : range = 3000-7999
>>>
>>> - Domain Member only setting, choose one of these 2, read and

do as you please as long as it is constructive. :-)

one more line for more clarity is not a hefty price to pay. One of the 
objective of a tutorial is to help the reader understand what he does!

Well, sorry to disappoint you but that wiki configuration does work with 
current Samba version. And it does not matter to have the "catchall" 
idmap configuration above or under the domain idmap configuration.

Cheers,

Denis

PS : by the way I am wondering what fantastic job you have that allows 
you to spend so much time on the mailing list :-) ? I'm sure doing Samba 
mailing list posting all day long does not "put butter in the spinach" 
(like we frogs say here) !
