I don't understand. The value of this attribute is 1000 in my LDAP DB.
Changing it to say 100000 will give me RID=2*UID+100000 in the cases
where the equation is applied. No?
But the problem is that the equation is not always applied.

Do you think it will make the equation apply in the cases
that I described where the RID is obtained from the value
of sambaNextRid (e.g net rpc user add joe)?

Moreover, if I change it smbd refuses to start and
'smbpasswd -a joe' panics:

The value of 'algorithmic RID base' has changed since the LDAP
database was initialised.  Aborting.
pdb backend ldapsam:ldap://localhost did not correctly init (error was  
NT_STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL)
PANIC (pid 860): pdb_get_methods_reload: failed to get pdb methods for  
backend ldapsam:ldap://localhost
