samba - Sep 2004 - mapping winbind users to nis uids and gids

Hello!

I've got users that access linux file server from Win stations using
Samba 
and winbind authentication but also have AIX based workstations
accessing
the same server using nis authentication. They have the same username 
registered in NIS domain and in Windows domain.

Is it possible to map winbind users (usually using uid & gid > 10000) to
nis 
users, so user john authenticating from Windows domain doesn't get new
uid and gid ( idmap gid, idmap uid), but maps to an existing NIS user
with
the same name.

Thanks,

Borut

Sure! Check 'man smb.conf' - search for the winbind parameters:

	winbind trusted domains only
	winbind enable local accounts
