Does changing Samba idmap backend to rid affect existing file ownership?
Issue

The following configuration is implemented in the Samba configuration file
/etc/samba/smb.conf
, for an environment using Samba Winbind and a single domain in Microsoft Active Directory.idmap config * : range = 10000-999999 idmap config * : backend = tdb

If the configuration file is modified to create separate domains and the backend is changed to
rid
, will the owner and group of existing files be maintained?idmap config * : range = 10000-999999 idmap config * : backend = tdb idmap config DOMAIN1 : range = 1000000-19999999 idmap config DOMAIN1 : backend = rid idmap config DOMAIN2 : range = 20000000-21000000 idmap config DOMAIN2 : backend = rid
