Hi Xavier,

The changes required to get the owner SID are simple enough that using
an actual patch would be a waste of time. Just look at what that patch
does and make the necessary changes by hand. It just adds a few lines
to SecurityDescriptor.java to locate and decode the part of the SD
representing the owner SID and adds an SmbFile.getOwnerSid method to
get to it.
