samba - Jun 2007 - machine account want use algorithm than sambanextrid

Was questioned before with no answer, but have the same problem:

With Samba 3.0.25 with ldap backend, what can i do for using  algorithm
"rid
2*uid + 1000", when samba create samba attributes (sambasid) of computer
account, instead of SambaNextRid from SambaDomainName entry ?

Background:
I create a machine account with smbldap-tools. After that a uidNumber was
given to the machine.
If the machine logs on the first time a samba gives a SID to the machine
using SambaNextRid.
If I leave the SambaNextRid base to 1000 after a while adding machines the
machine SIDs are in
the range of the user/group SIDs, so it would be better to use the algorithm
than SambaNextRid.

Thanks

You shouldn't let smbldap tools create the SID.
Samba can very well do it on its own, and that's the preferred and best
way. All is need is the posixAccount to attach the sambaSamAccount
to ...

Simo.
