Thanks Lars.   I'm working on building a perl API for Samba 4 for use with
the SME Server (www.koozali.org).  Your python is a great check for what
needs to go into a perl API.

I think I've finally got this all sorted out.  After I setup a user using
samba-tool user create, I'll pull the RID for this new user and then set
the UID/GID = RID + 3000.   I'll then set xidNumber = UIDNumber(GIDNumber),
as appropriate.

The other attributes can be set in a similar fashion as you have done.

I'm not finding where we need these though for *nix auth:

uid
msSFU30Name
msSFU30NisDomain

Can someone clarify what these are needed for?  SSSD doesn't seem to use
them.
