<title>Managing Security Identifiers (SIDS)</title>
<para>
- Document how to set up trusts here!!!!!!!!!!!
+ The basic security identifier that is used b y all Windows networking operations is the Windows security
+ identifier (SID). All Windows network machines (servers and workstations), users, and groups are
+ identified by their respective SID. All desktop profiles are also encoded with user and group SIDs that
+ are specific to the SID of the domain to which the user belongs.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ It is truly prudent to store the machine and/or domain SID in a file for safe-keeping. Why? Because
+ a change in hostname or in the domain (workgroup) name may result in a change in the SID. When you
+ have the SID on hand it is a simple matter to restore it. The alternative is to suffer the pain of
+ having to recover user desktop profiles and perhaps re-join all member machines to the domain.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ First, do not forget to store the local sid in a file. It is a good idea to put this in the directory
+ in which the &smb.conf; file is also stored. Here is a simple action to achieve this:
+<screen>
+&rootprompt; net getlocalsid > /etc/samba/my-sid
+</screen>
+ Good, there is now a safe copy of the local machine SID. On a PDC/BDC this is the domain SID also.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The following command reveals what the former one should have placed into the file called
+ <filename>my-sid</filename>:
+<screen>
+&rootprompt; net getlocalsid
+SID for domain MERLIN is: S-1-5-21-726309263-4128913605-1168186429
+</screen>
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ If ever it becomes necessary to restore the SID that has been stored in the <filename>my-sid</filename>
+ file, simply copy the SID (the string of characters that begins with <constant>S-1-5-21</constant>) to
+ the command-line shown here:
+<screen>
+&rootprompt; net setlocalsid S-1-5-21-1385457007-882775198-1210191635
+</screen>
+ Restoration of a machine SID is a simple operation, but the absence of a back-up copy can be very
+ problematic.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The following operation is useful only for machines that are being configured as a PDC or a BDC.
+ Domain member servers (DMS) and workstation clients should have their own machine SID to avoid
+ any potential name-space collision. Here is the way that the BDC SID can be synchronized to that
+ of the PDC (this is the default NT4 domain practice also):
+<screen>
+&rootprompt; net rpc getsid -S FRODO -Uroot%not24get
+Storing SID S-1-5-21-726309263-4128913605-1168186429 \
+ for Domain MIDEARTH in secrets.tdb

+ Usually it is not necessary to specify the target server (-S FRODO) or the administrator account
+ redentials (-Uroot%not24get).
