Yeah. You're correct. I was thinking of the machine trust account file
when running in domain mode security. I think we talked about moving
MACHINE.SID into the secrets file, but decided not to. Fuzzy memories.
See passdb/machine_sid.c:pdb_generate_sam_sid() for the details of
what we do.

Thanks for the correction Scott.
