This is great - can it be filled out a bit too? Namely I want to use the
"add user script" to auto-create accounts - but they're multi-domain. 

Could Samba be smartened up to do user matches of:
"unix user" == "domain + nt user"

e.g.

when DOM\jhaar connects, and Samba is a member server of DOM, then that
should match Unix user "jhaar" (and if that doesn't exist, look for
DOM-jhaar), but when DOM2\jhaar connects, then that should match Unix user
"DOM2-jhaar" (or whatever separator is deemed appropriate). At the moment
Samba is really only single-domain capable.

Sound doable?
