I have created a nearly new implementation of the winbindd uid/gid
assignment plugin that I first released about a week ago[1]. You can
get the latest patch and sample module at
http://www.cae.wisc.edu/~gerdts/samba/.
Key implementation changes in this one are the following:
* Based off of SAMBA_2_2 rather than release-2-2-4.
* Now the shared library portion of the implementation is
responsible for figuring out how a sid translates to a UID.
Previously winbindd would try to resolve the domain and
user/group names, then pass those to the module. This was to
address problems alluded to at [2].
* Allows the module writer to control the order that smbd uses
for resolving user and group names, as mentioned at [3].
* Ugliness was introduced that causes winbindd to require
libsmbclient.so.
It has only mildly been tested on Solaris 8, with SAMBA_2_2 checked out
on or about 5/14/2002.
