Hello all,
When I run ldbedit on idmap.ldb some of my SIDs seem to be missing.
The below output demonstrates the problem quite clearly:

root at server:/# wbinfo -n administrator
S-1-5-21-3663128747-3839060396-3176805764-500 SID_USER (1)
root at server:/# ldbedit -e /usr/bin/vim -H /var/lib/samba/private/idmap.ldb
objectsid=S-1-5-21-3663128747-3839060396-3176805764-500
# 0 adds  0 modifies  0 deletes
root at server:/# wbinfo -n user1-admin
S-1-5-21-3663128747-3839060396-3176805764-11824 SID_USER (1)
root at server:/# ldbedit -e /usr/bin/vim -H /var/lib/samba/private/idmap.ldb
objectsid=S-1-5-21-3663128747-3839060396-3176805764-11824

I expected the last two SIDs/usernames to be in the database, but they are
not.
There does not seem to be anything special about them, so I'm not sure why
it's not working.
The only difference I can ascertain between administrator/user1-admin and
user2-admin/user3-admin is that user1-admin was created a few months ago. I
can't see why that matters.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Kirin.
