I think the recommended way is using the mkpasswd command.  Actually the 
recommended procedure is not to use anything.

Just run that command and take a look at the output.  You have to filter 
out most lines, only add the user you want.

Now run it with --help, you'll see you can list 'local' users AND domain 
users.  I put quotes on local because you can also specify local to 
which computer (as long as it is running SMB, I think).

Its about the same for groups: mkgroup.

Hope this helps a little.
