is not supported any more.

<para>The idmap_rid backend provides a way to use an algorithmic
mapping scheme to map UIDs/GIDs and SIDs. No database is required
in this case as the mapping is deterministic.</para>

+ Note that the idmap_rid module has changed considerably since Samba

+ Currently, there should to be an explicit idmap configuration for each
+ domain that should use the idmap_rid backend, using disjoint ranges.
+ One usually needs to define a writeable default idmap range, using
+ a backent like <parameter>tdb</parameter> or <parameter>ldap</parameter>

+ and other domains, and also in order to be able to create group
mappings.
