Likewise Open doesn't use these settings.  It uses a hashing funtion
to derive the uid/gid.  So the uid.gid will be the same on
all platforms.

S-1-5-21-3234968684-14787312-124015166-3136

bits:          30 - 20                 19-0

So hence you have a 31bit number which becomes the
uid/gid value.
