In 2.2 I think you are much better to stick to smbpasswd - pdbedit (and
the passdb subsystem beneth it) has had a lot of fixes/updates/new
features in HEAD.  What you are seeing is an early implementation of the
'machine accounts not in /etc/passwd' idea that HEAD implements
(properly) as 'non unix accounts'.
