...rrent user uids and machine account uids are quite messed up. As the LDAP database stores the uid *and* the SID of each user and machine account, I would like to know if it would be possible to renumber the uids (uidNumber of samba.schema). The SID would remain unchanged (by using the formula "oldUid * 2 + 1000"). Is this possible without losing account information or machine trusts?

I am suddenly no longer able to see any existing files on one of my shares, from my Windows clients. I have a Linux server (Fedora Core 8) which used to be my firewall and router as well as file and print server.
