This is very strange, what you have done means that the user with the 
RID 1107 has a uidNumber attribute and as far as I can see, there are no 
changes that might affect this.

Now if we only knew someone that knows Samba and works for the company 
behind Rocky Linux, they might know what is going on here :-D
