I stuffed up a bit there, I forgot to add [PATCH], so I re-based the 
patches and resent here:
https://lists.samba.org/archive/samba-technical/2015-October/110242.html

I really think that samba-tool needs these patches (or something like 
them) because (as I was informed very recently) ADUC on win10 does not 
have the UNIX Attributes tab.

Oh, and just a hint, I will not be using the fancy git webpage, just 
something else to learn that doesn't actually advance Samba one iota. Is 
there anyway I can stop all those stupid emails that are filling up my 
mailbox??
