samba - Jan 2003 - (no subject)

Hello!
I trying to setup Domain Controller with Samba,
but I have some trouble.
As I understood, I ought to create "Trust Account" for
every mashine, and if mashine name is "vasya" then
account should be "vasya$"
but FreeBSD is not allowed to create accounts with "$" characters,

what should I do ?

Thanks!

Change to an OpenLDAP backend.  It will allow the $.  Either that or 
trace the scripts to see where the restriction is and remove it.

As the samba documentation outlines, this is not a major issue. You can
add the user without the $ character and then add it manually later by
editing the /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow files.
