What exactly do you mean by SMB support?  Has anyone thought about
support for the sambaAccount objectclass?  All out users are both
posixAccount (unix) and sambaAccount (cifs).  I have yet to find a tool
that support both sets of attributes.

There already is http://hww3.riverweb.com/hdadmin/ and (more developed)
http://diradmin.open-it.org/  Directory Administrator is a very nice
package.  

It would be very nice if CPU could be packaged in a way to make it very
easy to perform automated or "remote" tasks.  If one could feed it the
parameters encoded in XML via standard in and get an "OK" or "ERR" out
of standard out it could be used as a serverlet to web front ends and
batch processes.

Support for the sambaAccount and kerberosSecurityObject objectclasses.
