I am running Samba ver 3.0.33 on Solaris 10 (sparc.) Initially I had the server configured as a domain controller with the "passdb backend = tdbsam" option. The underlying unix accounts were stored in LDAP (Sun Directory Server.) Those accounts are also used for non-Samba services. Since I have domain trusts with NT domains, I am using winbind and idmapping. The idmap data was
