I recentlywiped and reloaded a decaying RedHat 5 system with FreeBSD 4.0. I've got just about everything working save for NT Machine Accounts in Samba. Under Linux, it used to be possible to type 'smbpasswd -a -m mywindowspc' to add a machine acccount for an NT system. FreeBSD has a problem with this: under Linux, I'd need to create an entry in /etc/passwd with the name of the machine ending in a dollar sign -- mywindowspc$ -- for smbpasswd to work. FreeBSD doesn't allow this. Even if I add entries to /etc/passwd and/or /etc/master.passwd, smbpasswd -a -m won't work. I've searched Deja and the Mailing List archives and haven't found any solutions to this particular problem. Has anyone managed to do this?
