Folks,
Maybe it's me, or my systems, but I've found that idmap restore
simply doesn't work under samba-3.0.25rc3.
When I try to import the idmap.dump file I create from one of my
older systems into a fresh 3.0.25rc3 installation, I get a huge
stream of errors along the line of "could not set mapping of
(UID|GID) to sid xxxxx". This happened whether I was using
idmap_tdb or idmap_ldap. The same idmap.dump file restores
successfully on my other 3.0.23 & 3.0.24 systems.
I went further and used "getent passwd" to populate the system's
idmap from the AD (while using idmap_tdb, BTW), and then ran the 'net
idmap dump' command, which generated a file that looked fairly
identical in structure to the idmap.dump file I got from the previous
version. Following this, I tried to 'net idmap restore' the idmap
dump file I had just created, and received the same long string of
errors. Thus, I suspect there is something not quite right in the
'net idmap restore' functionality...
Cheers,
-D
