In respect of Holger's need however, I am not aware of any way that the 
required information can be passed from Samba to the "add group script". I do 
not kow of any macro that can be used to pass that information across the 
great divide between Samba and the script. This means that it may be 
necessary either to default to management only of a "domain" group, or else 
to specify the interface script parameters as:

   add group script = /opt/IDEALX/sbin/smbldap-groupadd -p %g -t domain

Does anyone have better insight into this?
