Yes. smbd should be insulated from the allocation and
generation of user and group rid's . For backend that support
the extra fields (read as TDB and LDAP), the user rid
will be stored with the user account information. For
smbpasswd backends, the rid will still be generated from
the uid/gid using the current algorithms.
