I'm compiling samba-3.0.23b as I write this. However, after studying the documentation, I have some serious concerns about installing it.
The WHATSNEW file says that the method of mapping unix-native uids and gids to SIDs has changed since 3.0.22. As I read this, this would imply that upgrading Samba will cause much breakage because domain users will no longer be able to access files they saved on their own harddisks. The obvious way to fix this is to insert explicit mappings to the (now legacy) algorithmic SIDs into Samba. But while it is possible to do this with the "net groupmap" command for gids, there's no "net usermap" command to do it with uids. And the user IDs are the bulk of the problem. As I read the documentation, dumping the winbindd database, tampering with it, and then restoring it might have the needed effect. But I don't use winbindd.... So, what's the procedure for a _seamless_ 22 -> 23b upgrade? ---- Michael Deutschmann <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
