Another question.
I'm not a Perl writer so I need to know if the -g and -G options for
smbldap-useradd.pl assume the pre-existence of the group in question.

I have to say that I am not very pleased with the fact that a group is 
not by default added for the user.  Niether does there seem to be a way 
to do this easily.  The end consequence is that you wind up with the 
default group meaning that unless you have permissions set to 700 that 
all other users get access.  This is not something I would prefer from a 
security standpoint since one cannot really expect users to understand 
permissions.
