The sample smb.conf provides a working example

    /usr/sbin/useradd -g machines -c "%u machine account" -d /var/lib/samba -s /bin/false %u

If you insist on using the debian specific adduser in the manpage, it
should be called as

    /usr/sbin/adduser --disabled-password --shell /bin/false --ingroup machines \
        --gecos machine --home /var/lib/samba %u


If you are about reviewing the man page, you might want to check the
example for the "add user script" as well and put there a debian
specific example. 

I hope, this is a bit more help.
