samba's use of SID in a domain environment and cygwin.

["Brooks, Stephen" <stephen dot brooks at intervoice-brite dot co dot uk>]

Hi folks
	I am trying to set up a NT box to interact with a samba server. I
have got all of the shares etc working and my server is a member of the
domain. The problem comes to using cygwin to chmod files

What I don't think is happening is Samba is not using the SID of the domain
user. Thus when I try and chmod files I get permission denied and an entry
in the samba log :-

[2001/09/03 15:48:33, 0] smbd/posix_acls.c:create_canon_ace_lists(747)
  create_canon_ace_lists: unable to map SID
S-1-5-21-2156702341-885168170-2402584512-1822 to uid or gid.

The above SID is the domain SID as generated cygwins "mkpasswd -d"

I can solve this by changing the SID in the cygwin password file to be that
of the server, but this means it only works for that server.

Does Samba use the SID of the domain user? or will it always use its own SID
for that user? I have searched the mailing archives and found nothing. Any
hint would be welcome.

I am using samba version 2.0.7 and cygwin version 1.3.2
