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.
