Yes, and that does work, but some people want UNIX logins too.  Can you

What version of useradd do you have?  I've read the man page backwards
and forwards, but no mention of setting a password.  passwd also seems
to be interactive only.  How non-unix.  And of course even if I do solve

to pass the username to my addsmbuser script, but I can't find any
documentation for the password.  I guess %p is a good guess, but...
