Creating and Configuring New Users for use with ad idmap

Work in progress — Use at your own risk

You can create a new user using `samba-tool` with extended options, including NIS and RFC2307 attributes.

Syntax is correct but options are not explained. Example:

samba-tool user create $username $clave \
  --given-name=$name \
  --surname=$surname \
  --use-username-as-cn \
  --home-drive=S: \
  --home-directory=\\\\fs1\\users\\$username \
  --mail-address="$username@caponato.es" \
  --must-change-at-next-login \
  --nis-domain=mad \
  --uid-number=$lastuid \
  --login-shell=/dev/null \
  --unix-home=/dev/null \
  --gid-number=10000
