[Samba] How to set unix properties from command line

[Luke Bigum]

Relevant bits from our user creation script:

samba-tool user create -H ldaps://${DC} -k yes --random-password   --surname="${SNAME}" --given-name="${FNAME}"  --mail-address="${EMAILSETUP}" --uid=${USERID} --uid-number=${MYUID} --gid-number=100 --login-shell="${USHELL}" --gecos="${GECOS}" ${USERID}

samba-tool user setpassword ${USERID} -H ldaps://${DC} -k yes --newpassword="${PASSWD}"

LDIF="${LDIF}
replace: unixHomeDirectory
unixHomeDirectory: ${UHOMEDIR}
-"

ldapmodify  -Y GSSAPI -Q -O minssf=0,maxssf=0 -H ldaps://${DC}  -f <( echo "${LDIF}" )

Subject: [Samba] How to set unix properties from command line

Samba version: 4.1.17

I want to use a Samba AD controller to manage access to both my Windows and
Linux boxes.  I managed to import my old Samba users using pdbedit however
as I want to use the new Samba AD controller to manage access to the Linux
workstations too I want to configure Unix properties on all my accounts.
Unfortunately I cannot find any command-line tool on Linux that will allow
me to easily fill in these properties. I looked at samba-tool and pdbedit
but they seem to be able to change only basic settings.  I know I can do it
through RSAT but I don't want to have to start a Windows vm just to manage
my users.

How can I manage Unix properties for my Samba AD users from the
command-line in Linux?

Thanks in advance,

Nico
