[Samba] How can I change the localSID for a SAMBA Server?

[Byron Bogaert]

Our Global Configuration is as follows:

#======================= Global Settings =======================

[global]
   workgroup = WIKIMEDIA
   netbios name = THEWIGGLE
server string = %h server (Samba, Ubuntu)
   security = user
   dns proxy = no

#### Debugging/Accounting ####
  log level = 2
   log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
   max log size = 1000
   syslog = 0
   panic action = /usr/share/samba/panic-action %d

####### Authentication #######
   server role = standalone server
   passdb backend = ldapsam:ldap://somehost.wikimedia.org
   ldap suffix = dc=wikimedia,dc=org
   ldap user suffix = ou=people
   ldap group suffix = ou=groups
   ldap machinesuffix = ou=computers
   ldap idmap suffix = ou=Idmap
   ldap ssl = start tls
   ldap admin dn = <Administrative dn in ldap>
   ldap password sync = yes
   obey pam restrictions = yes
   passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
   passwd chat = *Enter\snew\s*\spassword:* %n\n
*Retype\snew\s*\spassword:* %n\n *password\supdated\ssuccessfully* .
   pam password change = yes
   map to guest = bad user

############ Misc ############

   usershare allow guests = yes
