You can also change the new SID back to the old one using the net setlocalsid command. Here is an extract from Chapter 13 of The Official Howto. If ever it becomes necessary to restore the SID that has been stored in the my-sid file, simply copy the SID (the string of characters that begins with S-1-5-21) to the command line shown here: root# net setlocalsid S-1-5-21-1385457007-882775198-1210191635 -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
