Good Day All

I need the full list of option supported by the command samba-tool create
user.

the online help does not provide them all, in fact I see:

while I am able to use few extra options like the following:

--nis-domain  --uid-number  --unix-home

in particular I 'd like know if it is possible to populate the field:

"displayName"

at creation time, w/o using an ldappodify after creation .


Thanks!
