Aah. My mistake.

I used to just use ldapadd from the openldap distribution for adding 
accounts. You could also hack your own using perl or something. The 
problem with adding that kind of functionality to smbpasswd is making it 
suitably generic that it will continue to work flawlessly with an 
smbpasswd file, working with the TDB backend and allowing for people to 
have their own unique directory structure.

Hope it helps,
