  22         <para>
  23         The idmap_tdb plugin is the default backend used by winbindd
  24         for storing SID/uid/gid mapping tables.
  25         </para>
  26
  27         <para>
  28         In contrast to read only backends like idmap_rid, it is an allocating
  29         backend: This means that it needs to allocate new user and group IDs in
  30         order to create new mappings.
