samba - Aug 2013 - Samba/winbind UID mismatch.

Hello everyone,

I am running Samba 4.0.8 on Arch Linux (installed from the Arch Repo)

I have winbind authentication configured and working. I am able to login via
ssh, and at the machine console with my samba credentials. I also have a Windows
8 client and an OS X client which is able to connect to this system via smb.

However, when I create files or directories via smb I seem to have a UID
mismatch compared to when I create files/directories via shell or at the console

When I type id at the shell, it tells me my uid is 3000018 . Files created at
the shell or console have this as the owner.

When I copy files via smb the uid is 3000000. 

In idmap.ldb , my xidNumber is 3000018.

Am I missing something ? 

Thanks in advance,

- Pramod

Hi
A quick fix maybe.
1. Add the line:
idmap_ldb use:rfc2307 = Yes
to smb.conf
2. add:
uidNumber: 3000018
to the DN of the user
3. Always work on the DC either by ssh or at the console.

Then the uidNumber will _always_ be 3000018.

There are many ways to do the same but I don't know Arch so dare not 
suggest.
