i wonder, if i don't use winbind, do i really need the parameter "idmap backend = " in smb.conf on PDCs/BDCs ???
those machines find their SID/UID/GID via "passdb backend ="
don't they?


You are correct, the IDMAP parameters are only for when you are connecting to a windows DC. The idmap is used to map the windows SID to UNIX uid. If you are using a unix samba server as your DC the uid comes from the system having every user defined wherever it gets its name service info (ldap, NIS, passwd/shadow files, etc)

thx
