samba - Apr 2003 - RIDs in LDAP

Hi.

Does the current stable release of samba (2.2.8a) honour the RID that is 
set in the LDAP directory, or does it always use algorithmic RID 
calculation from the Unix uid?

I would like to migrate from an NT PDC to samba and copy the users' RIDs 
into the LDAP directory.

Bye,

Christoph

No.  In 2.2. things will break if you don't let Samba handle the rids 
using its algorithm (i.e. don't set these manually in LDAP).  Is working 
in 3.0 though.
