About your other question: # idmap add ... defines an idmap rule which is stored in a private database used by idmap service and it will be effective until it's explicitly removed using "idmap remove" Haa... again a nice clear presentation and again has helped my understanding quite a lot. So

"groups" refer to user groups (e.g. Domain Users) not workgroups. If you're operating in Workgroup mode, idmap rules are not particularly useful. In Workgroup mode you MUST have local users on the Solaris box and use those usernames/passwords to access the system over SMB. Now, if you define the

Is there some simple mapping process, something similar to the old samba mapping file smbusers... at least on some linux distros. It worked like this: Unix_name = SMB_name1 SMB_name2 Or is that not supposed to be necessary with cifs? I was trying to study this page... and was on the verge o
