samba - Jan 2012 - idmap config doesn't allow range to be changed?

Hi there

I've just upgraded a working samba-3.5.8  CentOS-4.9 (yes - pretty old)
server to samba-3.6.1 and can't change "idmap config". We almost
immediately had issues with it not working for some users - and the logs
showed we'd run out of idmap mappings (strange that never happened
before with the older version...)

Anyway, I edited smb.conf so that

        idmap config * : range = 10000-90000
        idmap config * : backend = tdb

...but when I run "testparm -sv|grep idmap" I still see

        idmap config * : range = 10000-20000

i.e. that doesn't appear to be editable! That makes no sense - any ideas
what's gone wrong? I suspect the server has some old library that is
triggering this - but don't know where to look...?

Thanks

Maybe you have
* edited the wrong file (/usr/local/lib/smb.conf vs /etc/samba/smb.conf) or
* have multiple instances of the same lines in the config or
* a line include = registry in smb.conf and the registry values still 
have the previous values
* another include statement that points to a file with the previous values
