Install ActiveState Perl and the Roth Win32::Perms module on your machine,
and run this script with your account information to get the numbers.  You
can hand-create the /etc/passwd entry with this info:

use Win32::Perms;

$Account = "DOMAIN\\lukeb";
$Sid = Win32::Perms::ResolveSid( $Account );
$Account = "DOMAIN\\Domain Users";
$GroupSid = Win32::Perms::ResolveSid( $Account );

print "SID: $Sid\n";
print "Group SID: $GroupSid\n";


In the above example. it will get the user and group SID for lukeb in
group "Domain Users" on DOMAIN.

If you need assistance, email me privately.
