I think as soon as you execute the binary "smbpasswd" (with option "-a"
to create a new account in the "smbpasswd"-File) it will be created... 

You should also set "encrypt passwords = yes" in your "smb.conf" to
enable the usage of encrypted passwords (which are stored in the
"smbpasswd"-file).

HTH!
