[Samba] Classic Upgrade changes domain SID

Hi Rowland,

Seems like skipping step5 has no influence on the problem

It does. Either I change the netbios name in /var/samba/NT4-DC/smb.conf 
to the
shortname of the new server in uppercase. Or I'm using 
serv00.nav.naev.de as the
FDQN of the new AD-DC.

I'm sure I know this guide by heart :-)

I was under the impression that Samba4 does NOT need all those
user- and machine$-accounts in /etc/passwd, but the classic
upgrade script does in order to migrate groups, users and computers.

I just repeated the classic upgrade without step 5 and then
I get lots of complains about users and groups, but the domain
SID is still different from the old value:

I noticed that the SIDs of all groups that the upgrade script
complains about, start with S-1-5-21-1415314133-2460755331-2761616138
(that is the domain SID of the old server) while the SIDs of those user
and machine accounts that do not have groupmemberships all start
with S-1-5-352321536-3589954388-2200284306-183212708(that is the
domain SID of the new server).

The SID of user babo in the old server is
S-1-5-21-1415314133-2460755331-2761616138-1158 and the
primary group of user babo has SID
S-1-5-21-1415314133-2460755331-2761616138-21013 (from
pdbedit -vL babo output). So the upgrade script changed babo's
SID from S-1-5-21-1415314133-2460755331-2761616138-1158
to S-1-5-352321536-3589954388-2200284306-183212708-1158.

Here's the new output from classic upgrade script:
