Hi Dave

It's poorly documented at
http://grasehotspot.org/documentation/machine-accounts/

I've mentioned on list once before I think, how to add a computer to a
normal group. Essentially a machine account is a username as the MAC
address (in the format at the above link) with a set password. Off the top
of my head, I'm not sure if the last released version allows you to change
that password from the default, in the next release it definitely does.
