Well, I got there, and I can't see any of the following lines... How did you 
manage to guess that the information is in this man page ?

It must be, because as I said, I can't find any of the following in that man 
page. So, I tried to use some of these options into the "net user add" 
command, after the "-F" flag, but it keeps returning me "usage()" :-(

Could you give me an example of what you think is the actual syntax to this 
flag ? Say, for example, creating a user specifying is homedrive, homepath, 
profilepath, etc... Some thing like :

# net rpc user add TestUser -F ????? -U administrator -S server

I find it very sad that this particular set of otpions isn't documented a 
little, even with --help... Maybe that deep because I need this 
"-F" ;-P !!!

Isn't there any other way (Using any number of samba commands) to perform 
remote account creation ? I *really* don't want to create my accounts 
half-manually on the NT server then on the Samba file server... :-(
