Here's something that may be useful in this conversation about AD  
Objects. I wrote with some reference help a script to pack a SID as I  
was creating the necessary objects to create AD accounts from python  
using python-ldap:

"""
packsid
"""

import base64,struct

def packsid(textsid):

   if textsid[0] != 'S':
 return;
   data = (textsid[2:]).split('-')
   rev = int(data[0])
   idauth = int(data[1])
   subauthcount = len(data) - 2
   packedsid = struct.pack("8B", rev, subauthcount, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0,  
idauth)
   for i in range(0,subauthcount):
 addpack = struct.pack(" Michael Ströder wrote:
