Did you check the Samba3-HOWTO? It is available on-line in HTML or in PDF. The HTML version is at http://www.samba.org/samba/docs. The PDF can be downloaded from: http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba3-HOWTO.pdf The PDF has hotlinked index at the back, you will find RID listed in the index. If this does not answer your question please let me know. - John T. -- John H Terpstra "Don't do as I do; Show me better!" - Anonymous. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
