If you think that something on the wiki is unclear, please tell us what 
you do not understand and if required, the wiki will be altered.

This may be easier said than done, it would have to be a subcommand of 
samba-tool and just what would you check for?
I mean, what if only a few users are meant to have uidNumbers, how would 
you differentiate between the users that should and the users that 
don't. You could, I suppose, check if an individual user or group had 
the attributes, but then again, if you ran getent passwd username you 
can tell from the result, if the uid is in the 3000000 range, then the 
user doesn't have a uidNumber.
