Correct. But the doc also says:

--
All Samba servers, other than one that uses LDAP, depend on the tdb files, and 
particularly on the secrets.tdb file. So long as the tdb files are all in 
place, the smb.conf file is preserved, and either the hostname is identical or 
the netbios name is set to the original server name, Samba should correctly 
pick up the original SID and preserve all other settings. It is sound advice 
to validate this before turning the system over to users.
--

You wrote you used 'net setlocalsid' to set the SID. According the doc this 
isn't necessary.
