I don't know which Samba version you're running, but in the v3-3-test tree, the help text for net getlocalsid says Get the SID for the local domain. The local domain for member servers is different from the domain a member server is joined to, but for a PDC, it's the same. Technically, you're always looking at domain SIDs here, so the output of net does just the right thing.

In fact, I did read the man page and the online help, and they both confirm my question. I am using Samba 3.2.6 on CentOS 5.2. The man page says the following: GETLOCALSID [DOMAIN] Prints the SID of the specified domain, or if the parameter is omitted, the SID of the local server. *If the parameter is omitted* it prints the SID of the local server. If you invoke the net command without parameters, the online help states: Usage: net getlocalsid [NAME]to get the SID for local machine name In sum, it seems to me that, for the sake of consistency and to avoid confusion, the output from getlocalsid without parameter should be SID for local machine (...). According to what you say, perhaps this has already been changed for version 3.3... -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
[Samba] net getlocalsid: is this a bug?
I noticed the following: Suppose that we have a server called SMALLSERVER working as a PDC for SMALLDOMAIN**. When I enter net getlocalsid I get the following output: SID for domain SMALLSERVER is: S-1-5-21-x-x-x But when I enter net getdomainsid I get: SID for local machine SMALLSERVER is: S-1-5-21-x-x-x SID for domain SMALLDOMAIN is: S-1-5-21--x-x-x Is this a bug or is it by design? It is somewhat confusing. Shouldn't the output of net getlocalsid be SID for *local machine* SMALLSERVER instead of SID for domain SMALLSERVER? Maybe I am being picky but that got me confused for a while when trying to debug a malfunctioning server... Thank you! -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

Maybe I am being picky but that got me confused for a while when trying to debug a malfunctioning server... IIRC the domain's SID is the SID of the domain's PDC, for NT4 style domains.
