There are a few different plugins winbind can use to perform the uid<->sid mapping. By default samba uses the tdb mapper which, as you describe, will generate uid maps on the fly. In my environment we have uid/gid info populated in active directory so our samba server is able to use the idmap_ad or idmap_adex modules to lookup uid info from ad. Depending on your environment you may be able to use the idmap_nss or idmap_ldap modules. See the idmap man pages on http://us6.samba.org/samba/docs/man/manpages-3/ Christian McHugh Northern Arizona University -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
