sorry if you have samba loaded from a linux distro, you have enough examples for a normal setup included, what description do you need for i.e useradd , man useradd tells you everything you need.
for a standart setup you only need normal linux system funktions
no magic is here, and no special scripting.
This is another case i. example with ldap , but you will find
examples in the sources too, what more do you need?
Not every distro comes with example scripts. Some of the native *nix tools don't provide exactly the behaviour that Samba expects.
add user script = /usr/sbin/useradd -m %u delete user script = /usr/sbin/userdel -r %u add group script = /usr/sbin/groupadd -r %g delete group script = /usr/sbin/groupdel %g add user to group script = /usr/bin/gpasswd -a %u %g delete user from group script = /usr/bin/gpasswd -d %u %g set primary group script = /usr/sbin/usermod -g '%g' '%u'
see here for suse 9 linux , all normal system parameters with expansion from samba which you can find in man smb.conf
It's great that SuSE 9 provides scripts and docs, but not every distro is so thoughtful. :-)
dont forget tweaking setups is one of the great thing with open source,
it pushed my computer knowledge , in my opinion it is not very
usefull setting up server without having understand how it works ( this is the way of many so called ms certfullieifhavecreatedtheinternetadmins , sorry for the others which exist too )
play with the code ask for help , have fun , have community , struggle with users and coders this is what open source made off
and makes it stronger than everything others
Please don't take this as a personal attack, but I'd like to point out
that you started with "you have enough examples for a normal setup
included.." then finish off with "tweaking setups is one of the great
thing with open source."
That's exactly what I wanted to do by suggesting a "Samba Script
Repository." Everyone will find some need to tweak and adjust their
scripts since it's not one-size-fits-all. If you're looking for that
custom tweak, why not be able to see if someone else has already done
it? Not all of us are not scripting experts. This is what's great about
Samba -- rather than assuming or forcing you to do something a certain
way, the Samba team has, by providing the *script= options in smb.conf,
allowed you to do it your way.
I just discovered that /usr/bin/gpasswd exists on my system. Would have been nice if somewhere in the documentation it told me that it's what I want to use for "add user script" and "delete user script"; this is the first I've EVER heard of this utility, so a big thank-you goes out to Robert.

if you wanna setup a repository for sripts and examples just do it
but if you ask on this list you will get any script you might need *g
but for sure it would nice to see a big example page with different
solutions , i would read it at once *g
dont forget some of this parameters are new to version samba 3 which
is also very new, so its normal many users dont know the new features
i have setup now many smb pdc with different backends , over vpns and trusts , with bdc etc.
I must say samba 3 can be a complete nt4 server pdc with all features
are needed in a prof. setup. ( after all i earn my bread with it )
At this time every problem could be solved with phantasie ,googling and last but not leasst with many feeware which was written by talented windows admins coders and users.
I never missed the active directory, i think the most stuff can be solved with ldap.
ldap is my bleeding edge, i have to invest more time on it.
Some doks with ldap scripts , include how to setup global adressbook
with samba and postfix cyrus amavis hylafax procmail apache proftp
would make me veryyyyyyyyyyyyy happy.
it would be nice to make a uni-distro with a gui for such a uniserver, which works just out of the box, cause for now its a patchwork working.
