Silimar user case. I need to create accounts by scripts, where
passwords are set by other means (eg, another scripts).
Practically, i'm ''syncing'' my old NT domains with my new AD one.

Really i don't need that. But 'samba-tool user setpassword --random-password'
passwords get processed by 'syncpasswords', as ''normal'' ones.
