None, but it has:

add user script = /usr/local/sbin/addmachine %m

The script looks like:

#!/bin/sh
machine=$1"$"
/usr/sbin/useradd -d /dev/null -g machines -s /bin/false -m $machine
/usr/bin/smbpasswd -a -m $machine

Is this no longer the way to do things?  This server may have been
upgraded from Samba 2 since we last added a machine.
