No, you don't. You just have to use the vipw utility to add the machine to
you passwd file.

I've just did this:

# vipw
<then add this entry>:
smbtest$:*:1515:123::0:0:Testing Samba entry:/nonexistent:/sbin/nologin

# finger smbtest$
Login: smbtest$                         Name: Testing Samba entry
Directory: /nonexistent                 Shell: /sbin/nologin
Never logged in.
No Mail.
No Plan.

Using a FreeBSD 4.0 here.
