Ah, Sorry :)
Don't know, maybe it's just neater to have it in the domain object and
you can have distinct
uidNumber / gidNumber pools per domain on the same server. Otherwise,
if you have multiple
Domains on the same ldap server but one pool of users across them you'd
probably want to
keep using NextFreeUnixId (and have the same SID for each domain).
Anyway it's the weekend - leave it till Monday ;)

Thanks...however I understand that. Perhaps I should have been more specific.
Why is the location where this is being stored changed. Specifically,
why are we storing it under the PDC_Domain name, instead of
NextFreeUnixId.

4. Edit the /etc/smbldap-tools/smbldap.conf file so that the following
information is changed from:
# Where to store next uidNumber and gidNumber available
sambaUnixIdPooldn="cn=NextFreeUnixId,${suffix}"
to read, after modification:
# Where to store next uidNumber and gidNumber available
#sambaUnixIdPooldn="cn=NextFreeUnixId,${suffix}"
sambaUnixIdPooldn="sambaDomainName=MEGANET2,dc=abmas,dc=biz"

I hate to do things blindly without having an idea what I'm doing, and
why.
Thanks,
Greg
Hope this helps

I don't understand what the purpose is, or more precisely what it is
this accomplishes. Could someone explain it to me?
I'm making good progress, but still hashing things out.
TIA
