As root:

smbpasswd -x account

Check 'man smbpasswd' for further details.

As root:

    # smbpasswd -x [username to delete]

If you just want to disable the account instead of removing it, use -d
instead of -x.

Note that this just removes the user's access to samba shares and
doesn't delete any shares themselves. Also, it only works on shares not
marked "guests ok" and if passwords are enabled.

If you want to remove the user's home directory (in /usr/home) you'll
also want to run 'rmuser' to remove the user's unix account.
