Aha, thanks a lot! I was already wondering how the matching goes. Using winbind for that is logical. I hope it does not cause too much delay, and that winbind is "smart" (caching and not doing lookups for standard SID's like ....-513). Do you maybe know the fuse ntfs-3g fuse fs to mount ntfs?? They are also using a mapping... using a special file.
