samba - Sep 2006 - net command and modifying groups in AD

Hi,

On my SuSE 10.1 linux server, I have successfully joined an AD server 
(which I setup) and am able to create users and groups etc.. on the ADS 
using the net command. My problem is I cannot (or at least I don't know 
how) to add/remove users to groups on the AD from my linux box. Is it 
possible to do this as I can't seem to find any literature on this? I am 
running samba (and client) version 3.0.22.

If anyone has any other ideas on how to manipulate group memberships 
from Linux on an AD server, that would be also greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
//Norbert

	I don't think it is possible in Samba3 (but I think it is
possible in Samba4). The main point is that usually you are just a
member server in AD, which means read-only (and access to change
pre-defined options).

	AD is a LDAP Server, so, you could use some binding and
commands to change it directly, but I don't think you could use
regular samba commands to change group membership.
