you're doing a lot of unnecessary work.  can i recommend that if you
_want_ some hard-coded builtin RIDs that you hard-code them into a surs
algorithm?  you will be doing the rest of us a favour because you'll be
writing something that can be used [generically] in other places: samba,
pam_ntdom. pam_smb, pam_smbpass, pam_ntpass, mod_auth_smb, mod_auth_ntdom
etc
