The cache TTL for idmap is only 10 minutes from what I've seen ( 
http://fxr.watson.org/fxr/source/common/idmap/idmap_cache.c?v=OPENSOLARIS ).  I 
read somewhere (sorry, can't find the source at the moment) that while a user 
is logged in their ephemeral UID won't change, but that may only apply to users 
logged in via the kernel CIFS server and I can't see anything that suggests 
that the mappings are returned after the TTL period on the idmap cache.

I really don't understand why the ephemeral UIDs are quite so ephemeral 
(certainly keeping them static between reboots seems a bit of a minimum).

Honestly would be willing to put up a respectable bounty if anyone wants to 
have a go at improving the AD integration!

James.
