On joining an EMC NAS to a SAMBA 3.x domain

I have a SAMBA 3.x domain with security = user, so each SAMBA account must have a corresponding entry to /etc/passwd. The same thing holds for machine accounts, although Debian complains that machinename$ is not a valid user name.

The password-based join is what people should prefer to use, but 'smbpasswd -a -m' should match NT4 is this respect (setting a password matching the machine name).
