Title:
  smbclient-share-access dep8 test should create the user it needs

Status in samba package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  The d/t/smbclient-share-access DEP8 test currently assumes there is an ubuntu posix user present on the system. This works for ubuntu, but won't work elsewhere, like in Debian for example:
  (...)
  Setting password for the ubuntu user
  + + echo secret\nsecret
  smbpasswd -s -a ubuntu
  Failed to add entry for user ubuntu.
  ...
  cannot create /home/ubuntu/data: Directory nonexistent
  + base64
  + chown ubuntu:ubuntu /home/ubuntu/data
  chown: invalid user: ‘ubuntu:ubuntu’
  + cd /home/ubuntu
  /tmp/autopkgtest.mxWhuu/tree/debian/tests/smbclient-share-access: 22: cd: can't cd to /home/ubuntu
  ...
  and so on

  Fixing this will allow us to submit these new tests to debian and
  reduce our delta.
