>Description:

	Running Samba as a PDC for Windows XP workstations on FreeBSD implies the
	ability to create user accounts ending by the character '$' in batch mode.
	pw useradd doesn't allow that.

>How-To-Repeat:

	pw useradd stationxp$ -g wheel -c Machine -d /dev/null -s /nonexistent
	pw: invalid character `$' in field

>Fix:
