Hello! I have 4 servers running Samba. The First is Acting as a PDC with roaming profile logons as well as an LDAP server. I am using the smbldap-tools to administer the two. That works great. I also have 3 other network file servers that are mapped to use LDAP from the PDC for posix account info. I set the smb.conf on each of them to use LDAP for sambaSamAccount info also via below: # Specifying ldapsam backend database #################################################### passdb backend = ldapsam:ldaps://my.pdc.servername.com username map = /etc/samba/smbusers # OpenLDAP stuff is defined here ################################################### ldap suffix = dc=my,dc=pdc,dc=servername,dc=com ldap machine suffix = ou=Computers ldap user suffix = ou=Users ldap group suffix = ou=Groups ldap idmap suffix = ou=Users ldap admin dn = uid=Admin,ou=Users,dc=my,dc=pdc,dc=servername,dc=com ldap ssl = On ldap passwd sync = Yes idmap uid = 150000-550000 idmap gid = 150000-550000 Now the accounts can log in fine with single point LDAP user management from all the systems posix, samba or otherwise. The problem I am having is the SID from the PDC box is what is used to generate the data in the users sambaSID LDAP entry. As a result, The "Owner" field in the Windows file Explorer is correct for the homes share from the PDC in that it displays the "workgroup\joeuser" posix name. Shares mapped from the file servers show the long S-1-5-21-1234567890-1234567890-1234567890-2308 (with the last four being the rid?) where the first part is the SID from the PDC as the "Owner". Is there a way to make these display the right posix name also instead of the long non-useful sambaSID? Thanks!! Mike
