Not sure, that I follow ... these "accounts" are never used to login and
access files or anything like - they are used to authenticate workstations
... so what is the point to have them in Unix /etc/passwd? They are
completely internal to SAMBA - it is the same, as put every terminal name in
/etc/passwd.

Just KISS. Users must have credentials and be in /etc/passwd - workstations
never need credentials. so why have them there?
