[Samba] net getlocalsid: is this a bug?

I noticed the following:
Suppose that we have a server called "SMALLSERVER" working as a PDC for
"SMALLDOMAIN**".
When I enter "net getlocalsid" I get the following output:
SID for domain SMALLSERVER is: S-1-5-21-xxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxx
But when I enter "net getdomainsid" I get:
SID for local machine SMALLSERVER is:
S-1-5-21-xxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxx
SID for domain SMALLDOMAIN is: S-1-5-21--xxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxx
Is this a bug or is it by design? It is somewhat confusing. Shouldn't
the output of "net getlocalsid" be "SID for *local machine* SMALLSERVER"
instead of "SID for domain SMALLSERVER"?
Maybe I am being picky but that got me confused for a while when trying
to debug a malfunctioning server...
Thank you!
