I do not exactly understand what is your "old style".

If your "old style" means Samba 2.2 style, set "passdb backend =
ldapsam_compat" and related settings may be what you want.

ldapsam_compat means that Samba uses old LDAP schema same as Samba 2.2. 

If ldapsam_compat (or smbpasswd) is set as passdb backend, it can not
store the next RID and Samba simply generates SID "algorithmic rid base" +
id * 2 + (+1 if group). That is what you want.
