        I don't think this is correct.  The biggest danger I see is that the
e-smith manager would (try to) create a regular user account with the
same name as a machine account, and only be able to partially create
that account.  By adding the account to the e-smith user database,
this is avoided.

        They shouldn't--there's an entry in the accounts database that
identifies them as machine accounts, and I expect the user accounts
panel skips those.

        So long as it can be made to work properly, which I think is now the
case with David's suggestions, it seems that there's nothing to lose
by going the e-smith way, and possibly something to gain.
