Hmmm. Take a look at the machines account and figure out, which profile is
in there. It might be the first users profile. When the logon procedure is
as I think, NT first creates a default config for its machine on
your server and then presents this default to all new users from its own
machine account on your server. Check this out and try to overload the
profile on the machine's account

Did you check, whether you are using the right passwd chat?
This should be exactly as the in/output of your passwd program - will be
spawned by smbpasswd.
