samba - Nov 2013 - Patch to Set RFC2307 attributes in samba-tool create user <username> --uid-number=501

I'm using sernet samba 4.0.11 on Centos 6 and don't see the capabilities
to add some of the RFC2307 attributes that make Linux UID/GID mapping easier in
the sernet version of the samba-tool.
The patch is mentioned on this list last year under: 
https://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2012-September/169300.html

Some threads on the net refer to this capability found in newer versions of
samba 4.0.9.  I'm interested in creating accounts like:
-bash-4.1$ sudo /usr/bin/samba-tool  user add <usersname>
--uid-number=5000 gid-number=5000
home-directory=/exports/users/<usersname> login-shell=/bin/bash

Are different versions of the samba-tool back word compatible?  I wondering if I
can download the latest samba sources and just use the samba-tool components
against my samba4 ADC.
Installed version of the Samba-tool reports;
-bash-4.1$ /usr/bin/samba-tool --version
4.0.11-SerNet-RedHat-7.el6

Thanks

Hi
Just upgrade to 4.1. That has the syntax you want.

Yes, if you do not want to upgrade, you can do what you suggest, you need:

samba-4.1.0/python/samba/samdb.py
samba-4.1.0/python/samba/netcmd/user.py

as a minimum.
