 .PP
 The idmap_rid backend provides a way to use an algorithmic mapping scheme to map UIDs/GIDs and SIDs\&. No database is required in this case as the mapping is deterministic\&.
+.PP
+Note that the idmap_rid module has changed considerably since Samba versions 3\&.0\&. and 3\&.2\&. Currently, there should to be an explicit idmap configuration for each domain that should use the idmap_rid backend, using disjoint ranges\&. One usually needs to define a writeable default idmap range, using a backent like
+\fItdb\fR
+or
+\fIldap\fR
+that can create unix ids, in order to be able to map the BUILTIN sids and other domains, and also in order to be able to create group mappings\&. See the example below\&.
+.PP
+Note that the old syntax
+\fIidmap backend = rid:"DOM1=range DOM2=range2 \&.\&.\&."\fR
+is not supported any more since Samba version 3\&.0\&.25\&.
