[K12OSN] Winbind & idmap

[Joel Buchan]

Hey,

Setting up a server that exports /home via NFS & samba with 
authentication being done on W2K3 server by the way of winbind.  
Everything is fine except one problem I am having with my K12LTSP 
servers (that also authenticate using winbind) the UID's and GID's are 
different between both.   After googling for an answer I found two 
solutions:
1. Use idmap backend = idmap_rid in smb.conf
2. Use idmap backend = ldap also in smb.conf
Has anyone got either of these working?  I assumed that i'd have to 
compile samba with the plugins, which I have done but still am unable to 
get it to function.  It could be that I have not compiled and installed 
samba correctly I followed this 
http://us5.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/compiling.html 
and added the option --with-shared-module=idmap_rid.  Then added idmap 
backend = idmap_rid in samba restarted both samba and winbind and tried 
getent passwd but it only lists local users, but if I comment out that 
line restart samba & winbind and getent passwd I get a list with the 
domain users.  One more thing if I do yum search samba is reports that 
samba 3.0.14a is installed even after I have just compiled and I assumed 
installed 3.0.20 is this right?  Can anyone offer any help at all I'd 
love to have everything up and running including a second LTSP server by 
Software Freedom Day.  (We are having a display and activities ect)
