You can use ls -n to see the user unique part of the SID or use the
Windows tool cacls to see the names in human readable format.

Using cacls is easier.

With ls -n you still have to reverse engineer the full SID and then
use some other tool to convert it to a user or group name.  Or use
mkpasswd / mkgroup to dump the entire domain and grep it for the bit
of SID you have.
