[Samba] Wither "uidNumber" and "gidNumber"? (was: Re: ldbedit: no matching records - cannot edit (newly-created user))

[Guilherme Boing]

I don't like mapping to primaryGroupID because at least for me, it will
always be 513 (Domain Users if I'm not mistaken).
This is why I have the groups mapped to gidNumber, but I'm using nslcd to
do this.
