Dear all I have a system with samba PDC with LDAP, samba version being 3.0.21 and openLDAP version 2.2.13 The samba PDC LDAP is configured for simple bind . while configuring smb.conf , i have kept winbind set default domain = no i have already configured samba pdc with ldap without winbind, if we set winbind set default domain = yes. will it effect my present users, Actually i want to configure BDC and Domain Member servers, so in BDC, the idmap should point to ldap://masterpdc, i want to enable winbind. if i make winbind use default domain , will it make any difficerence, will all the users information still be available . The idmap in the below configuration is idmap uid "10000-20000" and idmap gid "10000-20000" , but when the user is created it is created with uid starting from 1000., 2000 etc. please guide me Regards Niranjan
