unix passwd sync = yes

Personally, I use LDAP backend but I think that you can do most
everything with tdbsam backend.

I use webmin (http://www.webmin.com) to create new accounts - depending
upon whether you use ldapsam or tdbsam for backend, you will be creating
accounts on unix filesystem and samba filesystem simultaneously and you
can set both system 'home directories' to the same path. Thus, I have a
fairly simple SSO (single sign on) setup.

The only problem I have seen with webmin is that if you use their Users
and Groups module, it will create the samba user but not their password
and the advanced features such as individual profile/home paths are
reachable only in their LDAP Users & Groups, but not in the Samba module
(yet) or the Users and Groups module - meaning that if you choose
tdbsam, you will have to use the poledit command line tool to set the
advanced features for a user (or use the UserMgr tool from Microsoft).
