Samba does not generate the Rid, that is a Microsoft Domain Controller 
function (allocation of rids is controlled through the Rid master if I 
remember my MCSE days correctly)

Samba is simply querying the domain controller for the Sid. If samba is 
being used as a dc, then I guess it must basically do the same thing as 
Microsoft and generate the rid from 1000 onwards incrementally for each 
user, similar to what happens for unix uids I expect, since rids and 
uids are basically the same idea on different platforms.
