they are different. net setlocalsid fails:
[root at smb3 samba]# net setlocalsid S-1-5-21-1197990898-71428884-4196996049

The point here is that  3.0.14a never bothered to check if a user'd SID belongs to
the domain. It just simply sees the user and report:

init_sam_from_ldap: Entry found for user: qchang


On the other hand, 3.5.10-125.el6 insist that what ever SID a user has does not
belong to its domain, although I only set it up as a STANDALONE server:

sid S-1-5-21-3516781642-1962875130-3438800523-41232 does not belong to our domain
Skipping entry uid=qchang,cn=users,cn=accounts,dc=sri,dc=utoronto,dc=ca

If I understand right, as a  STANDALONE server, Samba should only care about finding and
authenticating againt a matching uid to Windows username on the samba server (which
uses LDAP),  and then using the uid and gid(s) to provide shared resources, which is the
behavior observed with 3.0.14a, but not with 3.5.10-125.el6.

In fact, SID never matters with 3.0.14a, I have populated all users with the same SIDs and
3.0.14a has been serving shares for years.
