At first glance I thought 'how will that work?', but I think I
understand it. Write another script that opens the temp file, makes a
few changes and then writes it back and the script then ends allowing
the rest of 'samba-tool user edit' to continue.

OK, I will give it a try, any objections to using bash for the
script ? ;-)
