Subject: RID Allocation behaviour

G'day

Tridge and I are working on Samba4's implementation of the distributed RID 
allocation. 

We are unclear on a number of aspects of the expected behaviour, particularly 
when the RID manager is not the DC adding users.

I'll describe this in terms of the 'RID manager DC' and the 'remote DC'

For example:

It appears that the Remote DC is responsible for updating the ridNextRID 
attribute, but rather than storing the next RID, it appears to store the last 
allocated RID.  The actual remote DC allocation process for RIDs appears 
undocumented.

It appears the RID Manager DC is responsible for updating the rIDAllocationPool 
for each DC, and the rIDAvailablePool.  We think the remote DC is responsible 
for ridPreviousAllocationPool and allocates RIDs from that pool, but this is 
only described in the schema doc.  

Any light you can shed on this process would be most appreciated.

Thanks,

Andrew Bartlett
