samba - Jun 2005 - Adduser failing to accept 'username$'

Hi group,

For some odd reason - most likely my current level of n00bness - my 
useradd refuses to accept the $ in the machine name, when adding a 
Windows machine to my Samba 3 installation.

I'm running Red Hat linux with a newly compiled version of Samba 3.0.14a.

Any ideas?

Best regards,

What passdb backend are you using?
Ldapsam tdbsam etc?

Have you read through the Samba Guide in the documantation aprt of the web
site?
