samba - Jun 2014 - samba-tool user add --uid

Is it a bug or a feature?

While --gid maps to the gidNumber OID of posixAccount, --uid maps to 
uid, which is supposed to contain the textual user name. The numerical 
uid should be in uidNumber, but there doesn't seem to be an option to 
set this.

Of course the aim is to migrate an existing OpenLDAP, Kerberos, Samba3 
infrastructure to Samba4 AD.

Thanks for your help,

Just what version of samba4 are you using and on what OS ?

The version of samba-tool I am using has:

--uid-number=UID_NUMBER
                         User's Unix/RFC2307 numeric UID
--gid-number=GID_NUMBER
                         User's Unix/RFC2307 primary GID number
