i just examined the output from (on 2.0.0beta4, MACHINE.SID; on main cvs
branch <sid_name>.SID) the sid file:

S-1-5-21-2359992313-5891293813-17732989127

or somesuch.

the S-1-5-21 is wrong.  it _would_ be correct if we were using
hexadecimal.   as we are not using hexadecimal, this is read in as:

S-1-5-17-1E952A..-B5A1290-...

it should have been written out as S-1-5-33... in decimal so that it reads
in as S-1-5-21 in hex.


a fix to this will only affect head branch users, not samba-2.0.0beta
users.  comments anyone?
