Well, but maybe that can be resolved patching winbindd to change their
behavior to get the next _free_ uid searching the tdb? (I mean, maybe
a patch for personal use not in the main samba tree)

Ok, SID's aren't reused but they are stored as part of the ACLs
in the workstation files, so that information is never removed?
I mean, there are some bytes never expired then :)
SID's unassigned to users are ignored in the ACL checking?
Btw, what is "noe"?
