Indeed it is, and today I found the cause for my problem: my fault.

I was coming from a Mandrakelinux installation, where secrets.tdb sits in
/etc/samba/, and moving to a Debian Woody installation, supposing the file
position was the same.
Wrong. Debian has the file in /var/lib/samba/. So I was simply
deleting/replacing the wrong file. :-/

I now stopped Samba 3, replaced /var/lib/samba/secrets.tdb with the old
one from Samba 2, restarted Samba 3, and finally had my new PDC with the
old SID for both domain and server. Client logins are working fine without
any changes.

Thanks for your help.
