The point here is that SMB PAM module only allow users with entry
in /etc/passwd to be added to /var/smb/smbpasswd but in higher
levels like MS-RPC library where we use APIs like getpwuid there's
no guarantee that we get the intended translation from /etc/passwd

/var/smb/passwd currently has both username and uid, right?
In theory it only needs one or the other, because the other can be
derived from /etc/passwd.
Not necessarily because when you call getpwuid the information might
not be populated from /etc/passwd
Yes, I was being sloppy; it might not come from /etc/passwd.
Still, point stands: given either username or user ID, you can get the
other from getpw{nam,uid}.
Whichever is in smbpasswd will be a problem to change, but if we
removed the duplication you could change the other one without trouble.

If the modified user has an entry in /var/smb/smbpasswd you need to

Obviously, idmap and smbd are still using the old uid to lookup
SID. How do I have idmap and smbd use the new uid?
Thank you in advance for your help.
