FreeBSD vs Samba machine account creation
Hello, Some time ago, I saw a thread on this list that had concluded that the adduser facility in FreeBSD had been amended so that samba machine accounts can be created with the required $ at the end of the desired machine user name. Is this not actually the case? I'd appreciate any information on this, please. I did check the man pages, but again, I could swear I read that thread., only because it reminded me of the problems I once had trying to get this to work some months prior. Thanks for the time.

The 'pw' command was changed in freebsd-current to allow a '$' to be the last character of a userid or group name. This was done in January, and MFC-ed to freebsd-stable in February. This change is more significant in freebsd-current than freebsd-stable, because 'adduser' is a perl-script in freebsd-stable. It does not use the 'pw' command. In freebsd-current, 'adduser' was rewritten (because perl is no longer in the base system), and the rewrite depends on the 'pw' command. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn= [EMAIL PROTECTED] Senior Systems Programmer or [EMAIL PROTECTED] Rensselaer Polytechnic Instituteor [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
