ah, right, so i guess i need something along the lines of:

/|passdb backend = tdbsam|//|
printcap name = cups|//|
add user script = /usr/sbin/useradd -m %u|/
/|delete user script = /usr/sbin/userdel -r %u|//|
add group script = /usr/sbin/groupadd %g|//|
delete group script = /usr/sbin/groupdel %g|//|
add user to group script = /usr/sbin/groupmod -A %u %g|//|
delete user from group script = /usr/sbin/groupmod -R %u %g|//|
add machine script = /usr/sbin/useradd -s /bin/false -d /var/lib/nobody %u
