So, if I'm going to add a user called "cletusjones" to my box called "beer"
it would go something like this:
adduser cletusjones --home /dev/null --shell /bin/false --ingroup machine
--force-badname --no-create-home --disables-login --gecos "Machine Trust
Account" BEER
and:
smbpasswd ****** -m -a BEER
correct?

For these statements, I'm replacing "userbob" with my usernames and that
should just be it, yes?
