but it is the wrong approach imho, we should really push for winbind, however when for any reason winbind is not available, we should still use idmap to solve sids->uids only the admin will be forced to do the mapping by hand with a tool like smbgroupmapping that currently we use for groups. I really think that until the admin does not map the suers, the unmapped uids shuld simply not be mapped, and an error sent into the log (we may also think of an automatic mapping for NAS products, and lazy admins ;) Simo. -- Simo Sorce - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Xsec s.r.l. via Durando 10 Ed.
