[Samba] How to Change UIDs

[Tyrus Shivers]

Understood.

Just to confirm there is no way to change the UID of users or manually
assign them? When I do id "user", I get just a UID and several group IDs, I
do not get anything that starts with a S. I do understand the SID from
Windows is tied somehow to the UID

I cannot setup a trust on my end. The remote share is managed by a
different set of admins, their only option for me to connect is to have the
UIDs that match their database of UIDs. It is a closed network and the UIDs
they have for users is tied to a different authentication resource than our
network.
