16 <refpurpose>Samba's idmap_nss Backend for Winbind</refpurpose>
20 <title>DESCRIPTION</title>
22 <para>The idmap_nss plugin provides a means to map Unix users and groups
23 to Windows accounts and obsoletes the "winbind trusted domains only"
24 smb.conf option. This provides a simple means of ensuring that the SID
25 for a Unix user named jsmith is reported as the one assigned to
26 DOMAIN\jsmith which is necessary for reporting ACLs on files and printers
27 stored on a Samba member server.
32 <title>EXAMPLES</title>
35 This example shows how to use idmap_nss to check the local accounts for its
36 own domain while using allocation to create new mappings for trusted domains

53 The original Samba software and related utilities
54 were created by Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed
55 by the Samba Team as an Open Source project similar
56 to the way the Linux kernel is developed.
