I'm not sure which idmap backend gets used by default (RID?). I did think idmap_rid would result in consistent UID/GID mappings based on the SID assuming you choose the same ranges on each server...

Ray,
Thanks for the tip. I will have a look in this whole idmap thing. AFAIK the IDs are assigned by winbind from a rather generous range, but I think it's the same range on every machine.
FYI, idmap_tdb(8) is the default backend.
I am using it on several servers and seeing the same UID's generated on each of them (with identical idmap uid/gid configuration ranges set of course).
