Urm... I _think_ it was a build problem.  It hit very early on and mailing
list traffic from June 2016-ish seem to validate it was a known thing.  I
don't have an easy place to test as it will refuse to build with 4.3 loaded
up.  Maybe I'll make a jail after these problems are fixed.

uidNumber doesn't work.  I ldbedited'd my SID to add that attribute.  Then
I restarted samba, then I created a file with my workstation.  Still has
3000016 rather than 101 as the uid.
