[Samba] problem with mechanism of samba user SID creation

[Karel Lang AFD]

Hi Rowland,
thank you so much, i stand corrected, i really mistaken one for the 
other. Great mystery solved :]].

If i might just one more question (purely out of wonderment).

If i take the 'passdb.tdb' file from Samba PDC production server and 
place it onto the test server (which is basically copy of production 
server - but has different Domain SID), the USER SID immediately changes 
from Domain SID of production server --> to Domain SID of test server.
I thought the information in 'passdb.tdb' is 'done deal' and can be 
changed only via 'pdbedit' etc.
But this looks like that the part of User SID (which is taken from 
Domain SID) is just variable? Probably yes?

Anyway, thank you so much again!!
Karel
