Hello, all !

I'm trying to add users to my NT domain from my samba servers (This to 
create all my accounts with only a single script, I do not want to create 
them on the PDC, then create their folders on the samba file server with 
another...)

I managed to create account with "net rpc user add", then put them in the 
right domain group with "net groupmember", but what about the other 
parameters (User Z drive, profile path, etc...) ?

And I tried to give the users a password with the "net rpc user add <user> 
<password>", but it doaesn't work !

I think the "-F" flag would help, but it's documented nowhere !
Here is the only mail I found related to my problem (Thanks to Google), but 
it never had any answer...

Can you help ?
