Thanks James.  Actually, I just got to it yesterday.  
I was able to get some answers from Freenode on #samba.  Apparently the SID is 
created for you, and it's dependent upon the SMB hostname.  So, when you use 
"net getlocalsid" you are pulling out a value that's already been generated 
for you.  

Your answer just confirms what I'd been hearing already.  The real need for me 
was to populate Webmin's LDAP UserAdmin module config with the SID.  Now that 
I know how to get it (and that I don't have to create it myself!) I'm good.

Thanks again,
Matt
