This should be decided on a passdb backend case.
Ldap users for example want all to be consistent and stored in ldap,
ancd makes no sense to have a separate facility to drive that.
Plus if we want to go on and be finally NT DC compatible we will have to
store these attributes in SAM and all the utilities we have (net,
pdbedit, smbpasswd) will be very pleased to have to deal with a single
facility.

Simo.
