Read:
        man smb.conf
then type:
        /idmap <enter>

You need modern examples. The docs are out of date on this. On the samba
mailing list you may find lots of folk-lore that is meaningless info.
But it's the best you will get until one of the samba core team members
jumps in to assist.  IDMAP is poorly documented.

Hi John,

From the man page:
          Default: idmap backend = tdb

I also have a "man idmap_tdb", but it says nothing
about manually creating a database.

What is the relationship with "idmap" and
"ERROR: Initialization failed for alloc backend, deferred!"?
What am I missing?

-T
