OK, I'm stumped.

I have a Samba server (v3.0.20a) with security=DOMAIN and using winbind
to authenticate non-local users against a W2K domain controller. This
setup happily serves out home directories and about six other shares.

I need to add a local UNIX account for a formerly Windows only user.
When I try useradd I get: user <username> exists.  This makes sense
becasue of winbind.  What I cannot figure out is how 'erase' him so I
can create a local user account.  I've read thru the man ages but I
can't see how to do this.

I'm thinking I can comment out the windbind in /etc/nswitch.conf, create a unix user, set up the mappng in smbusers, then uncomment winbind. I'll try that Monday.

I believe that simply stopping the winbind daemon for the duration will achieve the same thing.
