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
