+=head1 NAME
+
+idmapwb.so - winbind ID mapping plugin for cifs-utils
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+This plugin allows the utilities in cifs-utils to work in conjuction with
+the winbind facility of Samba suite. It handles several functions including
+mapping UID and GID to SIDs and vice versa.
+
+Utilities are usually configured to use the correct plugin by creating a
+symlink at @pluginpath@ that points to the correct plugin that you wish
+to use.
+
+This plugin requires that B<winbindd(8)> be properly configured and running.
