AFAIK, if you operate as a PDC it have to be 500, because a NT PDC hasn't its 
own user-database, it uses the domain-database, so the administrator is the 
same as the Domain Adminstrator, maybe I'm wrong, but ...

I've not tested this with other scripts (e.g. 0.8.2), because til I've tried 
0.8.3 I didn't noticed that if I want to add a user, the given script at "add 
user script"  isn't called with smbpasswd -a, if I added a user with "net 
user add", the given script was called (I've written a dummy script with 
syslog output), and the I've tried 0.8.3 and it worked. but I will give 0.8.2 
a try if you want
