[Likewise-open-discuss] idmap uid and gid

[Conrad Lawes]

I don't have an answer for you but in order for you to get same UID/GUID as
you remote from one computer to another, the  GUID/UID must be stored
centrally.   A Windows domain controller would  be the ideal repository for
this information.  When  you  think about  it AD already stores the SID for
every object that is part of that domain.  On a Windows 2003 R2  domain, the
AD schema is already extended to  store UNIX GUID and UID  data.

In fact, the commercial version of LikeWise stores the GUID/UID  in AD.    I
suspect that this is a limitation, by design,  in the open community
version.
