exactly.  that's what the bug i found was all about: some unix uids were
being returned instead of domain-relative rids, in rid fields.  then, when
the pdb_is_rid_user(rid) failed, because it was actually being passed a
uid.

i know - i view samba as the gateway that must "know" about rids and must
also "know" about unix uids.
