Ok, so this is probably a stupid question asked a million times, but I am a bit stuck. Up till now I have always deployed an OpenLDAP backend and a Samba domain controller in order to share the same set of data between unix and windows hosts. So jsmith with a UID of 1001 could read/write files either in Linux or windows and the same "identity" would be used. Now I am working for a company that uses active directory, I consolidated Linux to use AD for Unix, so now in AD I have jsmith and 1001 as the "NIS" Uid. Now comes the bad part, on a Linux filesystem shared by Samba to windows, when jsmith writes a file to the samba share, I expect the owner of the file to be 1001 BUT it is something like 16777216 instead! I suppose this has to do with the UID mapping, I just want the UID/GID to keep with the same AD stuff. Please, please, please tell me how I should setup Samba to use the assigned UID to the AD name. I thought by joining the AD domain samba would pick this up. I am suspecting I have to use LDAP access to AD to get the UID/GID info, but the attribute names are not standard POSIX stuff. I am sure there is an easy solution for this, the whole idea of using AD for both Windows and Unix was to eliminate administration and get closer to single signon.
