[Samba] BUIILTIN accounts with Samba 3.0.24 + LDAP

Does Samba cache info about builtin accounts?  If so, where?  I'd 
appreciate any nudges in the right direction here.  I really don't have 
the option of rebuilding this server (unless there's a way to tell it 
what SID to use so that I don't have to re-migrate all of the user 
profiles).

Any ideas are appreciated!  Thanks!
