  Re: Can someone explain SIDs?  It is an "on-the-fence" topic
between Samba and LDAP. It has to do with running a Samba PDC
which is one of the primary uses of LDAP. Problem is that if one
does not understand the relationship between rids and sids, then
one cannot correct defficiencies in one's LDAP database
structure that prevent the PDCs operation.  I've noticed that
many have been asking in this particular direction on both the
Samba list and the OpenLDAP lists. No one is answering in either
case. My intent is to get the answer and cross post it or see
that it gets added to the FAQs.  Jim C.  Peter Marschall wrote:
