hi tony,
sorry if you have samba loaded from a linux distro, you have enough 
examples for a normal setup included, what description do you need for 
i.e useradd , man useradd tells you everything you need.
for a standart setup you only need normal linux system funktions
no magic is here, and no special scripting.
This is another case i. example with ldap , but you will find
examples in the sources too, what more do you need?

samba comes with the setup tool swat, in serveral distros
there are other setup tools ( i took a look at suse 9.1 , which i cant 
recommend in a whole, but their new samba setup tool in yast is as easy 
as every windows gui )

add user script = /usr/sbin/useradd -m %u
delete user script = /usr/sbin/userdel -r %u
add group script = /usr/sbin/groupadd -r %g
delete group script = /usr/sbin/groupdel %g
add user to group script = /usr/bin/gpasswd -a %u %g
delete user from group script = /usr/bin/gpasswd -d %u %g
set primary group script = /usr/sbin/usermod -g '%g' '%u'

see here for suse 9 linux , all normal system parameters with expansion 
from samba which you can find in man smb.conf

as i said before this might be a little bit different with other nixes
and depends to your passwd backend, tdb,ldap etc
if you search tweaks etc why dont use google , you will find everything, 
which might be helpfull, it is also also allowed to read a book about 
samba ( you dont believe i also read books about windows ), after all i 
think the samba team will be happy for every new
feature which is usefull for the code, this is what
i felt mailing with them which is working in real but sometimes not in 
realtime *g

samba is one of the best working gnu stuff exist, if you wanna give 
something to them wich pumps up the code just do it !

dont forget tweaking setups is one of the great thing with open source,
it pushed my computer knowledge , in my opinion it is not very
usefull setting up server without having understand how it works ( this 
is the way of many so called ms certfullieifhavecreatedtheinternetadmins 
, sorry for the others which exist too )
play with the code ask for help , have fun , have community , struggle 
with users and coders this is what  open source made off
and makes it stronger than everything others
in hoc signum vinces *g
