i'm trying to setup a PDC with my FreeBSD box.
i'm following the directions in "Samba Unleashed" by SAMS.
in it they mention the creation of a server user account.
this is the example they give:
useradd -c "Samba PDC fir MYDOMAIN" -M -s /bin/false -n PERSEUS$
other than the fact FreeBSD doesn't use useradd and that pw useradd doesn't
have a "-M" option, i'm having a problem with the $ at the end of the username.
i get the following error:
pw: invalid character `$' in field
is there a work around?
any any all help will be greatly appreciated.
oh yeah... and one more thing... is the client-side setup in Samba the same
with W2k as it is for WinXP? if it isn't i might as well take this book back. :/
