is a more suitable list than samba@ for this subject....

Along those lines, does Samba generate a domain SID based on the name of
that domain?  Or could I rename the domain by manually changing the name
but retaining the SID?  And if I'm using passdb backend = tdbsam, in
which files would I need to do this?
