i'm using samba 2.2.5 and mandrake 8.5 as a pdc for test. Whenever i create a trust account PC123$ for a machine to login it appears as user in the KDE interface, i know its not samba specific but if i have 100 users thats a lot of $ users on the login list!

That can be done in /usr/share/config/kdm/kdmrc (or wherever else your kdmrc is located) -- Nick

The user manager (kuser) or the graphical login (kdm)? If the latter, you can configure which users it shows (either include only specified ones or exclude specified ones), see Control Center->System Administration->Login Manager->Users. You might also file a wishlist for kdm to exclude users by regexp (.*\$ for samba machine accounts) at http://bugs.kde.org If it's kuser, IMHO it's okay to have them there, otherwise file a wishlist item for it (also bugs.kde.org).In any case you won't get the feature too early though since KDE is already feature-frozen for the upcoming 3.1 release :-( As an alternative, if you know C++ you could implement such a feature yourself and submit a patch to kde-devel@kde.org, you could then use it right now...

You probably already have a long list of HiddenUsers that includes adm,alias,bin, etc. Alternatively, if uids corresponding to the machines are picked outside the range specified by keys MinShowUID and MaxShowUID, they won't be shown either. My KDE version is 3.0.3. Good luck, Nick
