Hello Im not sure how to ask the question i need, but let me try: Background: SuSE 9.0 Samba from rpms: samba 3.0.3pre2-SuSE Role: domain member server (winbind) I am having a lot of trouble upgrading samba and I'm thinking of moving to another server. I have found that if I move the winbindd_idmap.tdb across, the AD / UID mappings are saved but would like to know: a) Is this safe? (is there anything that will bomb out a few months down the line?) b) can this be done with LDAP instead (I know close to nothing of LDAP, I have assumed it is for use as a PDC, but could it be used to store UID mappings as well? How 'interesting' would this be to set up?) Thanks, H
Hello, LDAP could also be used store id maps, but I don't know how to migrate from a winbindd_idmap.tdb to the ldap idmap container regards odi Am Donnerstag, 12.
