samba - Apr 2004 - winbind uid range missing or invalid

Hello ... I am trying to run winbindd on my SuSE LINUX V8 system.  When I
start windbindd I eventually get the following message:

 'winbind uid range missing or invalid'

then winbindd ends.  I noticed that I am not the only person getting this
message.  When I search "google.com" for this message, many others are
getting this message.  However I have not found any answers explaining the
message and how to correct it..

Could someone either explain what this message is saying and how to fix it

I am using samba 2.2.5-SuSE.  The LINUX kernel is 2.4.19-3suse-SMP

I should also note that this LINUX is running on an IBM Mainframe computer.

My apologies, I meant to include the smb.conf GLOBAL parms, and
nsswitch.conf parms. Here they are:
  (I X'd out some of the settings)

[global]
        workgroup = xxxxxxxxx
        netbios name = xxxxxxxx
        security = domain
        password server = xxxxxx xxxxxx
        wins server = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
        winbind uid = 10000 - 19999
        winbind gid = 10000 - 19999
        template homedir = /home/windows/%D/%U
        template shell = /bin/bash
        os level = 2
        unix extensions = yes
        encrypt passwords = yes
        log level = 1
        syslog = 0
        printing = CUPS
        printcap name = CUPS
        socket options = SO_KEEPALIVE IPTOS_LOWDELAY TCP_NODELAY
        wins support = no
        veto files = /*.eml/*.nws/riched20.dll/*.{*}/


Here is the nsswitch parms:


passwd: files winbind
group:  files winbind

hosts:          files dns
networks:       files dns

services:       files
protocols:      files

Did you set 'winbind uid =' and 'winbind gid =' in smb.conf?
