>+	Note that the idmap_ad module has changed considerably since
>+	Samba versions 3.0 and 3.2.
>+	Currently, the <parameter>ad</parameter> backend
>+	does not work as the the default idmap backend, but one has
>+	to configure it separately for each domain for which one wants
>+	to use it, using disjoint ranges. One usually needs to configure
>+	a writeable default idmap range, using for example the
>+	<parameter>tdb</parameter> or <parameter>ldap</parameter>)
>+	backend, in order to be able to map the BUILTIN sids and
>+	possibly other trusted domains. The writeable default config
>+	is also needed in order to be able to create group mappings.
>+	This catch-all default idmap configuration should have a range
>+	that is disjoint from any explicitly configured domain with
>+	idmap backend <parameter>ad</parameter>. See the example below.
