The magic number is found in Samba sources -and possibly other Samba/Windows documentations. - -The goal is to have a set of Unix users who are Domain Administrators and can -modify Samba datas (eg. LDAP content), with commandline tools or within -Windows via Samba. - -Say you want to add a NT4 ws to an NT domain (controlled by a samba/ldap -server). You give the domain administrator's login and password in the -appropriate ws settings, then the ws contacts the samba server, which checks -the credentials and use them as unix user to run the smbldap-tools (if I -remember). Giving 512 as a RID to a LDAP entry marks it as a domain admin -for Samba (thus Windows).
