Just in following with the previous post, I've cut and pasted this from the 
books electronic version:

When you install Windows 2000, the Windows 2000 Setup program issues the 
computer a SID. Windows 2000 assigns SIDs to local accounts on the computer. 
Each local-account SID is based on the source computer's SID and has a RID 
at the end. RIDs for user accounts and groups start at 1000 and increase in 
increments of 1 for each new user or group. Similarly, Windows 2000 issues a 
SID to each newly created Windows 2000 domain. Windows 2000 issues to new 
domain accounts SIDS that are based on the domain SID and have an appended 
RID (again starting at 1000 and increasing in increments of 1 for each new 
user or group). A RID of 1028 indicates that the SID is the 29th SID the 
domain issued.

Windows 2000 issues SIDS that consist of a computer or domain SID with a 
predefined RID to many predefined accounts and groups. For example, the RID 
for the administrator account is 500, and the RID for the guest account is 
501. A computer's local administrator account, for example, has the computer 
SID as its base with the RID of 500 appended to it:


  S-1-5-21-13124455-12541255-61235125-500

Windows 2000 also defines a number of built-in local and domain SIDs to 
represent groups. For example, a SID that identifies any and every account 
is the Everyone, or World, SID: S-1-1-0. Another example of a group that a 
SID can represent is the network group, which is the group that represents 
users who can log on to a machine from the network. The network-group SID is 
S-1-5-2. Table 8-2, reproduced here from the Platform SDK documentation, 
shows some of the basic well-known SIDs, their numeric values, and their 
use.
