samba - Feb 2005 - Samba RPMs for RedHat/FC and idmap_rid

As discussed previously on this list, Samba RPMs for
Fedora Core do not include idmap_rid support.  This is
also true for older RedHat distributions.  SuSE on the
other hand, seems to have been patching in idmap_rid
support since 3.0.5 or so; and with trusted domain
support, to boot.  Harrumph.

I've been able to rebuild samba srpms on FC2 and
RedHat 8 by patching the samba distributed rpms, and
get idmap_rid support which is a lot easier than using
the xad plugins (no offense to PADL and Luke H., but
our setup is simple so idmap_rid is all we need).  The
diffs are attached; it would be nice if they could be
mainlined.

Thanks, Murthy

PS: It is way cool that mappings produced by RH8, FC2
and SuSE 9.2 are same, with so little effort, thanks
for this feature, Samba team.

Murth,  If you will send me your spec file patches I'll
get them in for the next Samba release.  The attachments
were strippedby mailman (for samba.org at least).





cheers, jerry
