they need to map authenticated users (by DCs) to unix accounts.
this can be done with tdbsam but is not recommended in multi samba domain server environments. in this case use ldap or rid instead (rid is easier to implement).

I am faced with a need to synchronize the *.tdb files on the file server
with all the Linux machines for consistent UID-to-loginID mapping.

Does anyone have a how-to or notes for a better approach?

Yes, use something like (in smb.conf):
 idmap backend = idmap_rid
or
 idmap backend = idmap_ad


Does this apply too, when there is a smaba pdc using ldap and many samba servers configured as memeber servers? Do the memeber servers need unix account for sambausers or do they just receive authentification from the pdc using ldap?

Cheers
