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 obseletes 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
42 idmap uid = 1000000-1999999
43 idmap gid = 1000000-1999999
45 idmap config SAMBA : backend = nss
46 idmap config SAMBA : range = 1000-999999
54 The original Samba software and related utilities
55 were created by Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed
56 by the Samba Team as an Open Source project similar
57 to the way the Linux kernel is developed.
