Hi, we have a fileserver with xfs filesystems running samba 3.0.22. File access should (and is) be possible via NFS and samba. I want the ability to set acls in these filesystems via windows clients -- but I want samba to map the SIDs to the existing unix uids of my users, not just an arbitrary mapping. Is this possible? My idea is using the "idmap backend" to our ldap-server using a "handmade" mapping table. Would that be reasonable/possible? I should mention that we synchronize the user accounts between unix and windows (ADS). So every user account is unique. Thanks a lot in advance and please eMail a copy to me, because I don't read this group regularly. -- Regards Christoph ________________________________________________________________________ Christoph Litauer litauer@uni-koblenz.de Uni Koblenz, Rechenzentrum, uni-koblenz.de/~litauer Postfach 201602, 56016 Koblenz Fon: +49 261 287-1311, Fax: -100 1311 PGP-Fingerprint: F39C E314 2650 650D 8092 9514 3A56 FBD8 79E3 27B2

So every user account is unique.Do you also sync the uid/gid's between AD and the UNIX directory service ? Are you using the schema in AD that stores the UNIX info ? Jeremy.
