This option specifies the location of a mapping file designed to translate Unix usernames to Windows NT domain usernames. The file should reside on the Samba server. For example:
/usr/local/samba/private/domainuser.mapping
The file has a simple format:
UnixUsername = [\\
Domain\\]
NTUserName
An example entry is:
joe = Joseph Miller
The Unix name specified should be a valid username in the
/etc/passwd file. The NT name should be the username to which you want to Unix username to map on an NT client. This option will work with Windows NT clients only.
If you would like more information on how Windows NT uses domain usernames and local groups, we recommend Eric Pearce's
