Creating a script for adding samba/ldap users
I need to have a script to use for adding users to my samba PDC, which is integrated with ldap.
this script i have added is not working becouse it doesnt add a password, i need a command that adds a password too, so i can add several users from a text file.
Or else i cant get this users to log in to the domain, please help!

for line in `cat $1`;do
username=$line
smbldap-useradd -m $username
done

I really need my script to be able to autogenerate the password, not a predefined bulk script
Since neither smbldap-useradd nor smbldap-usermod provide such a functionality, I'd really advise you to re-read the link I posted.

There are two scripts in the smbldap-installer directory to help you add users in bulk: create-usernames and smbldap-useradd-bulk.
