[Samba] create_canon_ace_lists: unable to map SID

2004-04-23 Thread Mac
t find that in Samba 3.x doco? Has it been retired? My gut feeling is that the Samba server (or possibly the DC) needs to know what the user's SID is. But (since it's not joined to the AD) it doesn't, and attempts at autogenerating one will fail to match. Is this close?
