Table 15 Unsupported Parameters or Options
This string variable control how winbind retrieves name service information to
construct a user's home directory and login shell. Only the template option is
functional, the SFU option is not supported by HP CIFS Server. If set to
template, winbind constructs a user's home directory and login shell using the
parameters of template shell and templatehomedir. The default setting
is template
winbind nss info
This is a boolean variable. If set to yes, this parameter activates the support for
nested groups. Nested groups are also called local groups or aliases. Nested
groups are defined locally on any machine (they are shared between DC's
through their SAM) and can contain users and global groups from any trusted
SAM. To be able to use nested groups, you need to run nss_winbind. This
parameter is not yet supported by HP CIFS Server. You may consider to use net
groupmap. Refer to net groupmap help for detailed information.

A smb.conf Example
An example of smb.conf file is shown below:
[global]
workgroup = DomainA # Doamin name
security = domain or ADS
# Winbindd section
idmap uid = 50000-60000
idmap gid = 50000-60000
idmap backend =
winbind enum users = no
winbind enum groups = no
winbind use default domain = no
winbind cache time = 300
# winbind separator = \
template homedir = /home/%U
template shell = /sbin/sh
[shareA]
path = /tmp/shareA
guest ok = no
writable = yes
Configuring Name Service Switch
To use winbind support, you need to configure the Name Service Switch control
file,/etc/nsswitch.conf, to use winbind as the name services for user or group name lookup.
For example, you can set up the /etc/nsswitch.conf file as follows:
passwd: files winbind
group: files winbind
In this example, NSS first checks the files, /etc/passwd and /etc/group, and if no entry is
found, it checks winbind.
For detailed information on how to configure NSS, refer to switch(4) and "Configuring the
Name Service Switch" in NFS Services Administrator's Guide at:

idmap Backend Support in Winbind
This section describe the idmap rid backend and LDAP backend for idmap support when using
winbind. Examples of configuration files for each backend are provided.
