Even though you may not require the SMB extensions, the smbldaptools may be worth looking into. It's toolset are similar to the regular Linux user management tools, with the backend taking care of populating the LDAP DIT and you keeping your sanity :)
Thanks Arun,
But you assume too much, I have no sanity left to keep :)
I know what you mean. I was going nuts with one client (who thought he knew LDAP just because he had done a prototype setup on a Mac OS X server) because he was mucking around with the DIT (on the Mac platform). That is when I switched him to openLDAP and smbldaptools on Linux and reclaimed my sanity :)
Another tool that I forgot to mention is LDAP Account Manager (lam); there is an open source as well a commercial support version. It is web based; ideal for the CLI phobic admins. You can delegate authority to non technical staff like HR for disabling users and groups ...
