Subject: Re: [Samba] UID - high need to lower it for a test user - active
directory auth
Hi Guys,
I am having some problems with Active Directory users using a bit of
software on our server, my AD users are authing via Winbind this works
fine and the only difference I can see between a local user and an AD
user is the fact the AD user has a MUCH higher UID, how can I create a
user with a low UID to test this? I don't want to change them all yet as
it might not be this that is causing the problem.
Many Thanks,
KJS
What sort of problem are you having?
The higher UID for non-local users is normal and shouldn't be touched in
most cases. This is to keep the local UIDs different significantly from the
ones that are not local.
The only problem you may be having would be if you have a huge number of
local users. In which case you would have to determine if it would be
better to create all local account for everyone on the domain to keep from
having problems. But, I seriously doubt this is the problem.
