[Samba] Samba v3.0.23a BROKE my network

[Necos Secon]

If I recall, in the release notes for .23, there was a note about requiring 
the groupmaps since all accounts that were local to the machine running 
Samba would be given a new SID (S-1-22 or something similar). I believe this 
is to emulate the same local/global account setup that exists in NT4 
domains.
