NAME
idmap_nss - Samba's idmap_nss Backend for Winbind
DESCRIPTION
The idmap_nss plugin provides a means to map Unix users and groups to
Windows accounts. This provides a simple means of ensuring that the SID
for a Unix user named jsmith is reported as the one assigned to
DOMAIN\jsmith which is necessary for reporting ACLs on files and
printers stored on a Samba member server.
EXAMPLES
This example shows how to use idmap_nss to obtain the local account
ID's for its own domain (SAMBA) from NSS, whilst allocating new
mappings for the default domain (*) and any trusted domains.
[global]
idmap config * : backend = tdb
idmap config * : range = 1000000-1999999
idmap config SAMBA : backend = nss
idmap config SAMBA : range = 1000-999999

Source project similar to the way the Linux kernel is developed.
