Hello Mike,
in the end it works.
I applied your patch to winbind, although it seemed to be applied while I
compiled your idmap_files.so.
compiled and installed nss_winbind.so
restarted nscd
restarted winbind
and NOW I can connect to that machine from explorer, set my acl's using the
uid provided from winbind etc...
As you asked for, find attached the compiled idmap_files.so stuff which does
not work on my machine.
Best Regards
Thanks again
Roman
