[Samba] wbinfo -u and -g work, wbinfo -s works only for some users

[Danilo Godec]

While my situation is a bit different (no AD server, Samba is PDC for
the domain, using OpenLDAP for users, groups, ...), I tried running your
Perl script in 'Wizard' mode, but it fails (using perl 5.8.3):

# ./UID2SID.pl
syntax error at ./UID2SID.pl line 204, near "= ;"
syntax error at ./UID2SID.pl line 239, near "= ;"
syntax error at ./UID2SID.pl line 380, near "= ;"
syntax error at ./UID2SID.pl line 404, near "=  ) "
syntax error at ./UID2SID.pl line 410, near "}"
Execution of ./UID2SID.pl aborted due to compilation errors.

  Regards, Danilo
