OK, now I'm trying to understand /etc/default/useradd and why /etc/shadow has
expirations included, but /etc/passwd does not (see: man shadow)

I don't know how these users got like this. I do everything like this:
useradd [user], passwd [user], usermod -G [group] [user], smbadduser [user],
smbpasswd [user] I've never had a problem before.

Should I just hack /etc/shadow?
