I think it was clean, but I will try again tomorrow.

To my understanding the SID is stored as binary in FDS. In order to use the DNA
plugin we need to split the SID into a static prefix and a dynamically generated
integer. Currently the DNA plugin can only work with string prefix, also the
integer would be concatenated to the prefix as string. To generate binary SID the
DNA plugin needs to support binary prefix and binary concatenation.

Are you suggesting we can store SID as string in FDS? That certainly will eliminate
the need to fix the DNA plugin, but we probably need a different schema for Samba
and FDS. Also would there be a big performance impact?

I did not notice it until I sent it. Thanks! :)
