Well, I have several ways of doing it, I have a patched version of 
samba-tool (why has the patch for 'unixHomeDirectory' never made it into 
samba-tool? ) I also have a bash script that uses ldb-tools. Finally I 
have PHP5 web application that will do it. you can use ldbedit, in fact 
that are many ways to add 'unixHomeDirectory'.
