...nix domain members, I would always get the same Unix IDs, then I thought differently. The 'single source of truth' isn't rfc2307, it is the accounts RID and the 'rid' idmap backend calculates the Unix ID from the RID and the DOMAIN low range set in the smb.conf file: ID = RID + low_range So, if the low_range is set to '10000', the Domain Users group will always get the Unix ID '10513' and so on. 10513 = 513 + 10000 Coming to to the users shell and home directory, these are always relative to the Unix domain member, they are not mounted from another computer (NOTE...

...ea on why the *ad* back end does not > work ? As I said, it was only a test, it shows that there is connectivity to your AD DC, but the ID's are not what I expected. The 'rid' backend works by calculating the ID from the user or group RID It use this formula: ID = RID - BASE_RID + LOW_RANGE_ID The 'BASE_RID' defaults to '0', so it becomes: ID = RID + LOW_RANGE_ID The 'LOW_RANGE' is what is set in smb.conf: ID = RID - BASE_RID + 10000 So all the users and groups should be '10000' or above. Did you restart Samba and also run 'net cache flush'...

Hello, I am trying to configure samba on a Centos 7.5 linux server ( Samba 4.8.3 ) to share files stored on that server to a set of windows PCs running win7 and win10. Some facts: - the linux server is NOT the domain controller but it successfully joined the domain ( realm join ...). - we have a few linux servers on which we will want to configure samba in a similar way to share files. - the
