I was working on the NTDOM FAQ a little was working on the part about
adding machines to the smbpasswd file.  Had a quick thought...

Would it be beneficial to add a switch to smbpasswd so that machine
accounts could be added directly?  For example, something like

	smbpasswd -add -machine mymachine

which would generate the the entry

	MYMACHINE$:<mymachine>:0080:

rather than the standard user entry which would then have to be
modified.

I realize that the plans are to be able to create these accounts
automatically but in the meantime, this could be a quick hack.
