I don't see how you could be stopped from doing this, when a user or
group first contacts a DC, it is given an 'xidNumber' attribute in
idmap.ldb, containing the next available number in the 3000000' range.
If you decide to give this user or group a uidNumber or gidNumber
attribute, this should be used instead, which is what happens when you
run 'net cache flush'. The problem is, you shouldn't have to run the
'net' command at all and you didn't used to have to. If we could
narrow
it down to when it started not working correctly, it might help.
