Hi Rowland,

>>> idmap config * : range = 3000-7999

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) !
