So, what can a program that can modify the SIDs in NTUSER.DAT
do?

OK, the profiles program now works, AFAIKS.
1. You have to run it twice to pickup both the User SID and the Group SID.
2. The target directory on the workstation (Documents and
Settings\user...) might have the wrong permissions on it, because it was
owned by a different SID.
3. If you have a file in profiles/SendTo/31/2 Floppy ... (where the 1/2
shows up in Windows as the 1/2 symbol), it will caues problems, and Samba
has a bug, so remove it.
