If you're creating a machine account you need to specify -m, then it should
work.

how can i tell the useradd(8) command to add an user which contains a
"$"
character within it's loginname?
it only allows alphanumeric characters for a loginname! i need this
"$"
character
for the automatic creation of a machine-account for my samba server (PDC).
(smb.conf parameter: add user script = adduser -d /dev/null -s /sbin/nologin
MACHINENAME$ )
quoting or escaping "$" does not work. (e.g. adduser NAME\$) ? ?
adduser under linux does not complain about a $, how to solve this problem
under openbsd?
