I know that 2.2.0 is a bit old, but I cannot afford to upgrade it yet, as it
is an important server (and as it's SuSE I'd probably need to upgrade like..
10 packages, and then notice that glibc, and gcc needs upgrading too and I'd
just land in rpm dependency hell)

milhouse:/etc # smbadduser -a mr:test
ERROR: Must use unixid:ntid like -> zak:zakharoffm
No such map passwd.byname. Reason: Request arguments bad
ERROR: mr Not in passwd database SKIPPING...

I do assume that you meant smbadduser -a unixid:ntid
And also: the user `mr' in this case is a user on the system (I can log in
as this user without a problem)
