    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..
