[Samba] samba 3.0 with ldap / sambaSID

I think the ldif provide here is generated on the first creation account
with pdbedit -a

dn: sambaDomainName=DOMAIN,o=xxxx,c=fr
sambadomainname: DOMAIN
sambaalgorithmicridbase: 1000
objectclass: sambaDomain
creatorsname: cn=dir manager
createtimestamp: 20030818142849Z
sambasid: S-1-5-21-XXXXXXXXXX-XXXXXXX-XXXXXXXX
modifiersname: cn=Directory Manager
modifytimestamp: 20030818171356Z

You can find sid domain with :

net getlocalsid DOMAINE_NAME
SID for domain DOMAIN is: S-1-5-21-XXXXXXXXXX-XXXXXXX-XXXXXXXXXX

He is different from localsid on the same machine:

net getlocalsid 
SID for domain SERV1 is: S-1-5-21-XXXXXXXXX-XXXXXXXX-XXXXXXXX

As I migrate fron an alpha version , I change it straighly in the ldap
directory.
I didn't find any command to change it on the ldap server except an
ldapmodify.
There is also a command that go back on the last sid.

I have a doc ... In french.
