NOTE: HP CIFS Server supports several ways to allocate and map POSIX users and groups. If
winbind is used, winbind name service is required in /etc/nsswitch.conf. If winbind is
not used, a local POSIX account associated with each Windows user and group must be created.
One way to create these accounts automatically is to define the "add user script" and "add
group script" options in smb.conf. See the SWAT help text for more information.

The ID maps are saved in the local file, idmap.tdb.
