what is /etc/MACHINE.SID ?

[jack@corni jack]$ cat /etc/MACHINE.SID
S-1-5-21-294535841-2723149962-632958105

how is it generated, and used for what?
how to restore if trashed?

this is more than just curiosity:
in my recent debacle of overwriting part of /etc on corni rhat6.2
with same name files from  my  byers rhat5.2 system
  this  /etc/MACHINE.SID  file was one of them overwritten

what consequences can I expect?


For what it is worth, my  experience to date on recovering:
was able to restore,reconstruct such things as fstab, XF86Config,..

Had to log in as root to rewrite password of the user who was
logged in when i did that overwrite as root.

corni is still functioning, can log in and out of X,

I havent yet attempted to reboot
