[Samba] Bug or feature?

[Ryan Novosielski]

I attempted to write a catch-all command line that would add/enable/set
password for a user, to make sure they were in good shape upon a
reactivation of their account. However, in my opinion, the man pages are
incorrect when regarding the -e switch. -a and -e will not work together,
so the behavior of -e is not really benign if the user does not need
enabling. I guess this is somewhat of a gray area, as if the user does not
exist, a -e flag should probably fail... but... I guess what I'm asking is
was the intended behavior that -a -e would not work together (ie. if the
account does not exist, the -a will not be used either), or is -a -e
supposed to be a way to add/enable a user?
