It's the same thing algorithm.  I wrote the original Samba & Likewise
SID hashing code.

idmap_rid doesn't have a collision problem that I'm aware of
as long as you set it up properly.  Did I misunderstand something?

Depending on account turnover and number of trusted domains,
I think you should be fine with idmap_hash.  But if you only
have a single domain, then idmap_rid is equivalent I think.
