I am glad someone else asked this question.  I could find no mention of
MAC files in my rough searches of the docs and was thinking I was going a
bit loopy.


Anyway, on Debian, you might have more luck with this:
plug:~# useradd 'BUZZ$'
plug:~# smbpasswd -a -m 'BUZZ'
Added user BUZZ$.
Password changed for user BUZZ$.

Where BUZZ is the machine name. (Debians adduser script does not permit
usernames with $ in them Even with --force-badname)
