I'm not sure how closely I looked at the last one, but this looks HORRID! There is simply too much code here. The problem space is simple, make a simple solution. Start by just doing a uid allocator. This allocator can do its own 'sid->name' call internally if it helps implementation, as long as it can work without that. The concequeces of the DC being down should be considered however. (Possibly take a dump at regular intervals). This should be a simple if statement in the existing winbind uid allocation code. The issue of 'is this a winbind uid/gid' are easily solved by adding a request that asks specificly that to the winbind deamon. This should be configured by an smb.conf paramter, that will allow winbind to return UID's found in (for example) the SFU ADS schema, or a unix LDAP server etc. For now, don't worry about the cost of doing a socket call. Try and generate the smallest possible patch that fixes your problem.
