This is useful info. Let us see now...

The add machine script does the creation of the Linux machine account when
adding the Windows client to the domain. (/etc/passwd)

The add/delete user scripts do the addition/deletion of the Linux user
account when using a tool like usrmgr.exe or smbpasswd. (/etc/passwd)

How would I use the add/delete group scripts?  How do they tie in with
mapping Samba groups to Linux groups using the "net groupmap" command?

Thanks.
