'-w' is for workstation

you probably should have consulted the 'help' funtion before posting...

# smbldap-useradd --help
/usr/sbin/smbldap-useradd version [unknown] calling Getopt::Std::getopts
(version 1.05 [paranoid]),
running under Perl version 5.8.5.

Usage: smbldap-useradd [-OPTIONS [-MORE_OPTIONS]] [--]

The following single-character options are accepted:

        perldoc -F /usr/sbin/smbldap-useradd
