But what the @[EMAIL PROTECTED] is a Relative IDentifier (RID)?!?
On page 153 the command to map a windows group to a *nix group - no mention
of RIDs.
A SID is a 128 bit identifier of a user/group/computer on a network
(a GUUID really). It consists of a 96-bit "domain" id, with a 32-bit
"relative id" (RID) suffix.
Official Samba3 Howto is certanly missing such a clear definition :-)
I would expand user/group/computer to
user/group/computer/domain/interdomaintrust/etc :-)
Every instance in SMB world has to have its own SID
So for a given RID, you prepend the 96-bit domain id to get the full
SID.
SIDs are supposed to be "structured", but for real users/groups
and computers they are of the form described above.
Certain (less than 128 bit) SIDs are "well known" SIDs. Such as
the "Administrators" group.
