I don't really understand what you're asking, since you are expressing
two
conflicting aims.

However, you can /generate/ a sambaSID (and a lot of other attributes) by
running 'smbpasswd -a whicheveruid' against a posixAccount uid that
you've
already made.

You can /get that SID/ using "ldapsearch -LLL -x 'uid=whicheveruid'
sambaSID | awk '/sambaSID/ { print $2 }'" and incorporating that in
a
shell script to do whatever you want with it. "pdbedit -Lv whicheveruid |
awk '/User SID:/ { print $3 }'" will also do it.

Best,
