I was having some trouble getting identity mapping correct while integrating 
Samba into a Windows 2003 (pre-R2) environment using the idmap_rid module, that 
took a while to figure out because of the segfault in 3.0.25a when using the 
old configuration syntax.  The bottom line is that if the selected base_rid is 
greater than an AD RID, then identity mapping fails.  It turns out that in our 
environment the RID for the target group was less than 1000, so the 
configuration borrowed from the example in the manpage of idmap_rid was 
incorrect.  Fortunately, there were some domain users that were not in the 
target group, which, taken together with the fact that the old config syntax in 
3.0.24 was producing valid id maps with an implied base_rid of 0, exposed the 
workaround.  

So the question is whether the example in the manpage can be changed to make 
base_rid 0.  Come to think of it, what is the purpose of base_rid?

Thanks,
   Murthy
