Then it will have to be a vendor specific patch, because we are not 
solving this for 3.0.  Better to store it as an extended attribute on a 
file and resolve it later.  This would allow us to cover Linux & Solaris 
with probably adding on IRIX in the future.

Just guessing about an unknown SID is wrong.  Please do no check this 
code into SAMBA_3_0.
