Just to let you know the method to my madness with the rid -> uid / rid
-> gid checks:

The idea was to trap any case where the system would attempt to store a
rid that we could not get back.  ie:  all user in smbpasswd get uid
based RIDS, so it would make no sense to store a non uid-based rid,
becouse that is the last you would ever see of that RID.

Anyway, if the group mapping code superseeds the gid part of this, then
great.

I hope this makes it a bit clearer.
