samba - Jul 2010 - File owner SID instead of name showing for one user

Hello,

I recently migrated all data and user accounts from our old Samba file 
server to a new (Samba 3.4.0 on Unbuntu 9.10) one. Everything is working 
fine except that there is one user whose SID is showing in the "Owner"
column of Windows Explorer instead of the user name.

It's not a big problem, but the user is uncomfortable with it and I'd 
like to know why it's happening and how to fix it.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

Greg

Check for duplicate UID's somewhere.

Yeah...but that's a real puzzler, isn't it?  Why the is the 
nsswitch/winbindd process getting a SID as a  value for uid?  I've 
seen it briefly when some process is lagging out.  But I can't ever 
recall such a state being "permanent"....Odd...something's nagging
me
about this, can't put my finger on it.

But all other SID lookups are good (well at least a test smattering of 
them)?

OK, Greg, let me get this straight:

1.  From a server terminal ls -l shows correct info.

2.  Only in Windows exploderer the SID instead of name?

3.  I forget...Samba domain or samba joined to AD
domain?
