how? can you explain me why?
I know that privileges are set in smb.conf using user and group name, not
uid or gid!

The acces to files and directory is verify at unix level, samba make only
the gateway between windows and linux.
If the user is deleted, and after the admin re-add the same user with a
other uid, the user cannot acces to the file
and directory.
