	<title>DESCRIPTION</title>

	<para>The idmap_nss plugin provides a means to map Unix users and groups
	to Windows accounts and obseletes the &quot;winbind trusted domains only&quot;
	smb.conf option.  This provides a simple means of ensuring that the SID
	for a Unix user named jsmith is reported as the one assigned to
	DOMAIN\jsmith which is necessary for reporting ACLs on files and printers
	stored on a Samba member server.
