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 and obseletes the "winbind trusted domains only"
       smb.conf option. This provides a simple means of ensuring that the SID for a Unix user named jsmith is reported as the one assigned to
       DOMAINjsmith 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 check the local accounts for its own domain while using allocation to create new mappings for
       trusted domains

		[global]
		idmap backend = tdb
		idmap uid = 1000000-1999999
		idmap gid = 1000000-1999999

		idmap config SAMBA : backend  = nss
		idmap config SAMBA : range = 1000-999999

AUTHOR
       The original Samba software and related utilities were created by Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed by the Samba Team as an Open
       Source project similar to the way the Linux kernel is developed.
