NAME
idmap_nss - Samba's idmap_nss Backend for Winbind
DESCRIPTION
The idmap_nss plugin provides a means to map Unix users and groups to
Windows accounts and obseletes the "winbind trusted domains only"
smb.conf option. This provides a simple means of ensuring that the SID
for a Unix user named jsmith is reported as the one assigned to
DOMAIN\jsmith which is necessary for reporting ACLs on files and
printers stored on a Samba member server.
EXAMPLES
This example shows how to use idmap_nss to check the local accounts for
its own domain while using allocation to create new mappings for
trusted domains
[global]
idmap backend = tdb
idmap uid = 1000000-1999999
idmap gid = 1000000-1999999
idmap config SAMBA : backend = nss
idmap config SAMBA : range = 1000-999999
