I've been informed that I should include a trailing comma after my short user
passwords, and that works fine.

I think it would be more intuitive if Samba only required the comma if there
is a user password *and* an account password.  I.e. if there is only a user
password of "foo", the user types in "foo" for Samba.  I.e. if there is only an
account password of "bar", the user types in "bar" for Samba.  Only if both
passwords are needed does the user type in "foo,bar".
