I may have indeed forgot to clear the cache files after upgrading

I had various issues with samba servers as member servers - mostly in
keeping idmap entries consistent across machines. The solution in
the end had been to covert the member servers to BDC's and have ldap
backend for everything. Altho I suspect that the "idmap ..
backend: nss" may have been an alternate solution. I don't think it
was an option for samba 3.0.x and I needed a BDC anyway.
I have found the online samba documention on idmap less than
optimal. (The man pages are ok tho.) There are ranges set for each
trusted domain as well as the "idmap alloc config:range." I am not
quite sure if the "idmap alloc config:range" should encompass all the
domain ranges or if idmap is supposed to allocate id's from the domain
ranges. My experience so far is that new entries are from "idmap
alloc config:range." I guess the domain specific ranges are where
idmap is supposed to check for existing mappings first?
Many thanks GV. I wish there was a newer "By Example" book.
If any of the developers are listening, can you help? Ours should be a
pretty common setup - two domains, mutually trusting, using NT-style
auth and permissions, with Samba member servers? It seems that >= 3.4.0
has made both our configurations outdated (or there is indeed a
long-persisting bug).
Cheers
