+ <para>This determines how Samba will use its
+ algorithmic mapping from uids/gid to the RIDs needed to construct
+ NT Security Identifiers.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>Setting this option to a larger value could be useful to sites
+ transitioning from WinNT and Win2k, as existing user and
+ group rids would otherwise clash with sytem users etc.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>All UIDs and GIDs must be able to be resolved into SIDs for
+ the correct operation of ACLs on the server. As such the algorithmic
+ mapping can't be 'turned off', but pushing it 'out of the way' should
+ resolve the issues. Users and groups can then be assigned 'low' RIDs
+ in arbitary-rid supporting backends.
