1) the samba uid <-> rid mapping functions that exist at the moment and
are currently in use contain insufficient information [support for local
alias types and user types and nothing else].

2) there is no official support for pdc functionality.

therefore, technically, there is a reason why we cannot support
pre-existing uid <-> rid schemes based on smbpasswd, and officially there
is a reason why we do not support _any_ pre-existing schemes.

therefore, there's no issue.

oh.  plus, we're not microsoft, so we're not bound by the chains of
backwards-compatibility.  ... at least ... i'm not.

what say thee?
