In my searching for an answer, I discovered the pbdedit tool. I have not
been able to discover if this is soon to be a replacement for smbpasswd,
or if it just does some of the same things. If it just does some of the
same things, which tool do I want to use?

It seems the two tools do not synchronize with each other.
Can anyone give me a third-grader's explanation of where to go from
here? Which tool to use; which tool does what; are the tools supposed to
both modify both databases or not; how to get my user so she can map a
drive as her preferred username?
After some testing, I've come to the conclusion that the smbpasswd
utility does not affect the /etc/samba/smbpasswd file, but does affect
the same database used by the pdbedit utility.
So, I've completely removed the /etc/samba/smbpasswd file; this may
result in some "issues", but so far, it looks like perhaps this file has
been deprecated. Now I'll go see if I can find any actual documentation
to this effect.
