samba - Jul 2004 - Net rpc user add and the "-F" flag.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1


Hello, all !

I'm trying to add users to my NT domain from my samba servers (This to 
create all my accounts with only a single script, I do not want to create 
them on the PDC, then create their folders on the samba file server with 
another...)

I managed to create account with "net rpc user add", then put them in
the
right domain group with "net groupmember", but what about the other 
parameters (User Z drive, profile path, etc...) ?

And I tried to give the users a password with the "net rpc user add
<user>
<password>", but it doaesn't work !

I think the "-F" flag would help, but it's documented nowhere !
Here is the only mail I found related to my problem (Thanks to Google), but 
it never had any answer...

Can you help ?

Hello again...
Really no one knows about this "-F" flag in "net user add" ?

Je ne suis pas un "root's" du C, encore moins de Samba, mais
j'ai jet? un
oeil (C'est la premi?re fois que je regardais les sources de Samba), et je 
n'ai pas compris grand chose. Il y a pas mal de niveaux d'indirection...
Le
code qui nous int?resse doit ?tre dans un fichier externe :-(

De plus, la r?ponse qui m'a ?t? faite il y a quelques jours sur cette m?me 
liste (On me conseillait de regarder le man de 'pdbedit', cette commande
utilisant soit-disant les m?mes options) ne m'a pas aid?, ?a ne marche pas.

Je suis d??u, l?, car Samba est globalement bien document?, m?me la commande 
NET en g?n?ral, mais nous somme tomb?s sur un aspect dont tout le monde 
semble se fiche, et pour lequel la doc est ridicule. Pas de chance. Je suis 
tout de m?me ?tonn? que personne ne cherche ? utiliser cette 
fonctionnalit?, a croire que les admins samba n'utilisent que du samba sur 
leur domaine, et pas de PDC NT ...

Si tu trouve quelque chose, je suis preneur...
