Here's my add machine script, which can be tweaked to do most of the 
other stuff:

in smb.conf:
add machine script = /usr/local/etc/mtrust %u

---> /usr/local/etc/mtrust script begin <---
#!/bin/csh -f

set MNAME = $1
set MGID  = 10000
set MUID  = `cat /usr/local/etc/muid`


/usr/sbin/pw useradd ${MNAME} -q -g 10000 -u $MUID -c ${MNAME} -d 
/dev/null -s /usr/bin/false
echo "/usr/sbin/pw useradd ${MNAME} -q -g 10000 -u $MUID -c ${MNAME} -d 
/dev/null -s /usr/bin/false" >> /tmp/eric.log

/usr/local/bin/smbpasswd -a -m ${MNAME}
echo "/usr/local/bin/smbpasswd -a -m ${MNAME}" >> /tmp/eric.log

@ MUID ++

echo $MUID > /usr/local/etc/muid
---> script end <---

There is one file I create, called "muid", which is the machine's 
starting user id.  I start this at 10000, and it will increment up 
automatically as machines (or users, groups, whatever) are added.

Hope it helps..

Eric
