Makes sense if thats all you need and theres no Windows stuff to break, yep :) Sorry for being presumptuous about your setup!

You would need to remove three of the sambaDomainName entries if you only want a single domain though, and ensure that the only one present is sambaDomainName=UNIX.

When you do net getlocalsid, it should be looking up the details for the domain you specified in smb.conf (UNIX) in your LDAP directory. Check your logs, see if it's happening and see what questions it's asking your LDAP server, that way you can see where it's getting its unusual SID information from and why it may not be setting the SID like it should.

i.e. on one of my broken systems that I use for playing about with stuff, I just booted to test it and I can see that if I do net getlocalsid its looking for:

smbldap_search_domain_info: Query was: dc=mydomain,dc=co,dc=uk, (&(objectClass=sambaDomain)(sambaDomainName=MYDOMAINFROMSMB-CONF))
Just feedback, since things are working ok now.

The domain question isn't relevant, so I really don't care whether I have one or four. Which is just as well, because the servers all ignore the domainName=UNIX entry. If I delete their LDAP entry, they'll simply create a new one. Which is consistent with documentation, with security=user, any workgroup- or realm-setting is ignored, and with security=anything-but-user, ldapsam doesn't work. I've checked and confirmed that 'net lookup sid' in all cases return the local domain and as long as I have no need to connect the domains I'm fine.

Thanks for your help!
