Diving into the source, looks like samba-tool operates directly on the 
local database? And thus the local samba server must be stopped?

         # connect to the remote and local SAMs
         samdb = SamDB(url="ldap://%s" % server,
                       session_info=system_session(),
                       credentials=creds, lp=lp)

         local_samdb = SamDB(url=None, session_info=system_session(),
                             credentials=creds, lp=lp)

Is that correct?
