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. </p></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en"><a name="id291819"></a><h2>EXAMPLES</h2><p> This example shows how to use idmap_nss to check the local accounts for its own domain while using allocation to create new mappings for trusted domains </p><pre class="programlisting"> [global] idmap domains = SAMBA TRUSTEDDOMAINS idmap config SAMBA:backend = nss idmap config SAMBA:readonly = yes idmap config TRUSTEDDOMAINS:default = yes idmap config TRUSTEDDOMAINS:backend = tdb idmap config TRUSTEDDOMAINS:range = 10000 - 50000 idmap alloc backend = tdb idmap alloc config:range = 10000 - 50000 </pre></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en"><a name="id259310"></a><h2>AUTHOR</h2><p> The original Samba software and related utilities were created by Andrew Tridgell.
