I have Samba 3.0.0rc1 installed on a linux server DC-01 and it's configured as a PDC. The only share it has is netlogon. Users are stored in an LDAP passdb.

All our users' home directories are on a second linux server, FS-01. It's been joined to the domain (command "sudo net join -U Administrator", which is the name of the "root" account). And here's a snippet from it's smb.conf:

  bash-2.05$ testparm
  Processing section "[homes]"
  Loaded services file OK.
  Server role: ROLE_DOMAIN_MEMBER

  # Global parameters
  [global]
        workgroup = CAMPUS
        netbios name = FS-01
        security = DOMAIN
        client lanman auth = No
        client plaintext auth = No
        name resolve order = wins
        os level = 0
        preferred master = No
        local master = No
        domain master = No
        wins server = wins.uwrf.edu

If I logon to the domain from an XP machine and pull up the properties|security on one of my files, it shows the following in the "Group or user names" box:
* Group icon for Everyone
* User? icon with a SID listed
* Group icon with the name of my group listed


Why do I get the User? icon with the SID showing? The SID appears to be the localsid for FS-01 (where the homes share is located).

From FS-01:
  bash-2.05$ sudo net getlocalsid CAMPUS
  SID for domain CAMPUS is: S-1-5-21-1347140671-2256076281-2964443892
  bash-2.05$ sudo net getlocalsid
  SID for domain FS-01 is: S-1-5-21-3124996394-1784840607-3979961563

The User? SID is S-1-5-21-3124996394-1784840607-3979961563-10808

I was expecting the User icon with my login name since this is supposed to be a single domain with single users/groups. If I look at a file on \\DC-01\netlogon, I see my name and group. Is there some step I've missed in setting up the homes server?
