The admin would have to rechown all the files from the old ids to the new ones, but a simple find command could probably manage that.
How does that work? Any major wrinkles?
I'm not feeling really comfortable with winbind assigning all UIDs and GIDs on a system, as it does need to coexist with other means and tools for Unix user management.
Reassigning their IDs is a major pain, and often impossible.
If winbind could only be used when taking over ID management entirely, we would be in trouble. So this behaviour needs to be at least optional...
