Hi again Rowland and Luis,

First, thank you very much for jumping to my rescue and explaining what I 
got wrong about my Samba usage.

This brought another question: Could I perhaps use the Samba 'rid' backend 
so that Windows users get unique UIDs on Linux boxes - different from the 
Linux UIDs - and then make use of usermap to map them to the proper local 
Linux user?
Would that work? Would that work for files being served as well?

Thanks,

Vincent
