Hey Mask -
Here is actual working code for creating a user named 'alice'. It also gives you opportunity to assign password 'syzygy9' to alice at the same time. I used the full directory path for reaching the binary file 'smbpasswd'. 'smbadduser' does not exist in Samba 2.2.2 (which I use).

# ./usr/local/samba/bin/smbaddusr -a
./usr/local/samba/bin/smbaddusr: not found

# ./usr/local/samba/bin/smbpasswd -alice
./usr/local/samba/bin/smbpasswd: illegal option -- l
smbpasswd [options] [username] [password]
options:
-s use stdin for password prompt
-D LEVEL debug level
-U USER remote username
-r MACHINE remote machine
-L local mode (must be first option)
-R ORDER name resolve order
-j DOMAIN join domain name
-a add user
-x delete user
-d disable user
-e enable user
-n set no password
-m machine trust account

# ./usr/local/samba/bin/smbpasswd -a alice syzygy9
Added user alice. #SUCCESS!
#

This command is not defined well in any book I have, so don't feel bad....
