Aaa, this raises an interesting question! If you have a user defined in
ldap with uid=joe, how do you add an sambaAccount to this user? Both
samedit and smbpasswd -a fails because uid joe already exists!

I think samedit/smbpasswd needs to be a little smarter here. Perhaps
something like this:

If the uid doesn't exist, no problem.
If it exists, just add a sambaAccount object to the existing user.
But what if the user already have an sambaAccount? Just add another one
or what?

By the way, does anybody know the status of the new (nt5ldap) schema?
