are you sure with this because as soon as you generate a samba password for any user than initially
Code:
/etc/samba/smbpasswd
file is created and updated every time you create smbpasswd
Code:
#smbpasswd -a user1
New SMB password:
Retype new SMB password:
like for mine
Code:
#cat /etc/samba/smbpasswd
user2:500:570CE399DA1412ABAAD3B435B51404EE:B9D2D4955B330B503CC792EB6A55BB1F:[U ]:LCT-4F1368B7:
user1:501:570CE399DA1412ABAAD3B435B51404EE:B9D2D4955B330B503CC792EB6A55BB1F:[U ]:LCT-4F136B87:

my /etc/samba/smbusers file is not being updated with new users,

This file is not updated automatically. this file is used to mention different abbreviation used for any user
Code:
#cat /etc/samba/smbusers
# Unix_name = SMB_name1 SMB_name2 ...
root = administrator admin
nobody = guest pcguest smbguest
user1 = user1
you can see the meaning of the file in the first line itself
