Yes it is intended behaviour - this is something I added
into the main branch. It seemed to me that ensuring a
machine account had a corresponding entry in /etc/passwd
was a good idea - to ensure that all machine account
entries are unique, not only within smbpasswd, but within
the UNIX password system also. This may be important at
a future date, and didn't seem a particularly onerous
requirement. I'm trying to tidy up the smbpasswd interfaces
somewhat to allow people to add different backend (ldap,gdbm
etc.) databases that scale better than the flat file we
have now.

Note that the docs/usage lag somewhat behind the implementation.
This will be the case for a while until we start getting
much closer to a real release.

Cheers,

	Jeremy.
