which can be used to avoid explicitly allocating POSIX users and groups
for Windows users and groups mapping. Winbind provides UID and
GID generation and mapping for Windows users. Set smb.conf
parameters to idmap uid = <uid range> and idmap gid = <gid
range>. See Chapter 7, “Winbind Support,” on page 163 for detailed
information on winbind.
When you deploy multiple HP CIFS Servers, you can use the LDAP
directory to maintain unique ID maps across multiple systems.
Otherwise, user mapping will not be consistent from system to system
when using NFS shares mounted on HP CIFS Servers. To centralize
management of ID maps in an LDAP directory, set the idmap backend
parameter to ldapsam:ldap://<ldap server name> in the smb.conf
file .
You can use wins server = <Windows or NT WINS server address>
smb.conf parameter for access throughout a multi-subnetted network.
Avoid using the WINS server supplied by HP CIFS if Windows or NT
WINS servers are available, because HP CIFS WINS servers cannot
replicate the WINS data.
