Reading the doco seems to indicate that you create the sid prior to
linking into your LDAP setup
(the doc I mean is
file:///usr/share/doc/samba-doc/htmldocs/Samba3-ByExample/happy.html as
seen on a ubuntu dapper 6.06 box)

Configure your smb.conf to be the PDC etc ....

then start smbd which automagically creates the Domain SID then run...

smbclient -L localhost -U%
 
and to get the sid (which I presume you insert into your LDAP ... somewhere)

net getlocalsid
SID for domain APF-MA-LN07 is: S-1-5-21-583462232-1718459602-2696129798


hope this is helpful... but seeing the time that has passed I assume you
already have it fixed.
