Default [Samba] user accounts


I am confused on the various account creation methods in samba. I am
running Fedora Core 8 and Samba 3.0.26a-6.

1.)
I can create a user with pdbedit -a
I can create a user with smbpasswd -a
I can list the users with the pdbedit -L command=20
Where is the file with the users that the above commands create and
pdbedit -L lists?

2.)
In SWAT under "server password management" I created a use root with a
password. This created a smbpasswd file in /etc/samba/ directory. This
user is not listed when I run pdbedit -L. When do you use the user that
is created in SWAT?

3.)
When I run smbclient -L localhost to list the shares I am prompted for a
password, but my root password does not work. What account and password
is smbclient looking for?

Thanks
