ID Mapping
----------
We discovered that the majority of users have an invalid or incorrect
ID mapping configuration. We implemented checks in the 'testparm' tool to
validate the ID mapping configuration. You should run it and check if it prints
any warnings or errors after upgrading! If it does you should fix them. See the
'IDENTITY MAPPING CONSIDERATIONS' section in the smb.conf manpage.
There are some ID mapping backends which are not allowed to be used for the
default backend. Winbind will no longer start if an invalid backend is
configured as the default backend.
To avoid problems in future we advise all users to run 'testparm' after
changing the smb.conf file!
