no, it is not. You'll find attached the latest scripts (hope the attechment will succeed
this time).

Yes of course. You just need perl and Net::LDAP

Yes.

Every time you use the smbldap-password.pl script, all of userPassword, ntPassword and
lmPassword will be updated.
If you add the sambaSAMAccount to an existing user and want to change all of the 3
passwords, you can use
$ smbldap-usermod.pl -a -P (..options..) user
