Since SIDs are never reused, neither are the Unix ids. Ids are allocated in a monotonically increasing fashion so you're only current choice is to expand or move the idmap ranges. This has come up a lot ni the past, but all the proposed solutions were suboptimal IMO and therefore never integrated into source tree. I'm more than happy to try to find time to review patches, but I've got several ongoing projects right now and can't do this myself. Mostly, it would involve fixing the idmap range parser. Multiple ranges is not that hard to do I think. You deal with aa range in isolation until it has been exhausted and then move on to the next. cheers, jerry ===================================================================== I live in a Reply-to-All world ----------------------- Samba ------- http://www.samba.org Centeris ----------- http://www.centeris.com -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFD+zFvIR7qMdg1EfYRAsOeAJ4hGxDodU2tgwpQfxoMekRlZq2mqACfQN5E TyCbsVS1Wty65Cxd1TfGnz4= =qaCP -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
