If you are using a DC as a fileserver, you can forget all the RFC2307
attributes except for the uidNumber & gidNumber (--uid-number & --gid-
number), none of the others are used on a DC.
Rowland
So then I think I need something like this.? "sudo samba-tool user create
username password --unix-home=/home/username --uid-number=something
--gid-number=something"? Does this look correct?? I'm not sure where
the uid and gid values come from.??
Thanks
