Is it possible for the uid/gid numbers that are generated by the idmap_rid and idmap_hash to collide if there are a large number of users or groups? I cannot seem to find any documentation on the limitations of these plugins. Before using I want to make absolutely sure that there won't be any collisions.
In doing some research about Likewise Open, I see it's hashing routine can have this problem: "If your Active Directory relative identifiers, or RIDs, are a number greater than 524,287, the Likewise Open algorithm that generates UIDs and GIDs can result in UID-GID collisions among users and groups. In such cases, it is recommended that you use Likewise Enterprise or that you use the Likewise UID-GID management tool." http://www.likewise.com/resources/documentation_library/manuals/open/likewise-open-guide.html#AboutLikewiseAgent I was somehow thinking that Likewise is based on Samba, although I don't remember where I heard that so it could be total BS. Does anyone know about the limitations of these idmap backends? -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
