3 things:

  * if you do this, set 'enable rid algorithm = no' in smb.conf
    However, things may break at this point.
  * also see the code in sam/idmap_ldap.c that handles RID 
    allocation.
  * make sure all the users you care about are stored in your 
    passdb backend (ldapsam) and that all group mappings are 
    setup correctly.
