[Samba] Samba machine trust account setting in FreeBSD
Hello! I am running samba-2.2.7a under FreeBSD 4.7. I tried to run Samba server as a PDC. However, I couldn't append the character "$" to the machine account. According to Samba-PDC-HOWTO.html in swat, I edited the /etc/passwd and added $ in my machine account manually. But still no use. It seems that my PDC is ok because it can authenticate the user from Window ME machines. Could anyone help me out? Thanks Long-Sheng Jan. 7, 03

[Samba] Re: Samba machine trust account setting in FreeBSD
I am assuming that you edited the /etc/passwd file via vi or another text editor? If this is the case, appending a $ to the machine account will not work under FreeBSD. Instead as root type vipw and then append the $ to the machine account. I have done this and it works under FreeBSD.
