the rare case that you must add a user explicitly, you can do so with the methods

UNIX password database.

To add a user, create an account for the CIFS user within your Windows NT domain
environment. If you want the user to also use UNIX files, either create an entry in the
/etc/passwd file on the filer or include the user in the /etc/usermap.cfg file.

The /etc/usermap.cfg file explicitly maps Windows NT users to the correct UNIX
account and UNIX users to a Windows NT account. The file can be coded as follows:
As a text file, with non-ASCII characters encoded in the NFS character set.
As a UNICODE file created using the Windows NT tools Notepad or Microsoft
Word.
The filer automatically detects which of these forms is in use.
