Write shell scripts that take user information (like username, password, home directory, etc) from the shell, then calls useradd, passwd, userdel, etc and another custom script that creates/modifies/deletes Samba users.

Then use these scripts instead of useradd, passwd, or userdel.

Would you mind to tell me in detail about script if you use script to configure this? Thanks anyway.

If you want to use users in an NT Domain, see http://www.lplug.org/?March_2002 for a powerpoint persentation on setting up Samba with NT authentication. At the end there are several shell scripts to create accounts and permissions for a group of users. The scripts could easily be modified to create linux accounts as well.
