* Starting smbd will create a file name private/SAMBA.SID
with permissions rw-r--r--. The file contains the domain
SID for the samba PDC. The filename will differ depending
+ on the value of the workgroup parameter. If the contents of
+ this file change, no domain members will be able to logon
+ and will need to be readded to the domain again. Guard
it carefully!
-------------------------------
Note that Samba 2.0.x uses MACHINE.SID and the HEAD
branch uses WORKGROUP.SID where WORKGROUP is the value of
the smb.conf parameter by the same name.
Cheers,
