Hi Jim,
usrmgr will work right out of the box with samba
if you have something like this with ldap in your smb.conf
passdb backend = ldapsam:"ldap://127.0.0.1/"
    ldap admin dn = cn=Manager,dc=robo,dc=intern
    ldap suffix = dc=robo,dc=intern
    ldap group suffix = ou=Groups
    ldap user suffix = ou=Users
    ldap machine suffix = ou=Computers
    ldap idmap suffix = ou=Users
    ldap ssl = no
    add user script = /usr/local/sbin/smbldap-useradd.pl -a -m -P "%u"
    ldap delete dn = Yes
    delete user script = /usr/local/sbin/smbldap-userdel.pl -r "%u"
    add machine script = /usr/local/sbin/smbldap-useradd.pl -w "%u"
    add group script = /usr/local/sbin/smbldap-groupadd.pl -p "%g"
    delete group script = /usr/local/sbin/smbldap-groupdel.pl "%g"
    add user to group script = /usr/local/sbin/smbldap-groupmod.pl -m 
"%u" "%g"
    delete user from group script = /usr/local/sbin/smbldap-groupmod.pl 
-x "%u" "%g"
    set primary group script = /usr/local/sbin/smbldap-usermod.pl -g 
"%g" "%u"
    passwd program = /usr/local/sbin/smbldap-passwd.pl "%u"

you can also use srvmgr with this

add share command = 
/usr/share/doc/packages/samba3/examples/misc/modify_samba_config.pl
         change share command = 
/usr/share/doc/packages/samba3/examples/misc/modify_samba_config.pl
         delete share command = 
/usr/share/doc/packages/samba3/examples/misc/modify_samba_config.pl

you may have different paths on your distro
but modify_samba_config.pl makes your smb.conf lokking a little bit 
strange thats why i said i dont recommend this, for me edit
smb.conf for configure shares is the better way, but srvmgr works
dont forget to start usrmgr and srvmgr as a Domain Admin account user
