"idmap backend" should be a "writeable" backend such as tdb or ldap. Anyway, to synclonize UID, you can also use "rid" or "ldap" instead of "ad". If you simply want to sync UIDs, "rid" is a better choice, I think. For example: idmap config DOMAIN:range = 1000000 - 1999999 idmap config DOMAIN:base_rid = 0 idmap config DOMAIN:backend = rid Please refer to manpages in the detail. --- TAKAHASHI Motonobu <mo...@monyo.com> -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
