hmm, try using the pw command to create your users. This is the command
line version of adduser and enables you to create users with a $.
I use the following script to quickly add machine trust accounts...
hope it helps.
#----- begin script -----#
#!/bin/csh -f
set MNAME = $1
set MGID = 201
set MUID = `cat muid`
/usr/sbin/pw useradd ${MNAME}$ -g 201 -u $MUID -c ${MNAME} -d /dev/null
-s /usr/bin/false
/usr/local/bin/smbpasswd -a -m ${MNAME}
@ MUID ++
echo $MUID > muid
#----- end script -----#
note that it calls a file "muid" which contains the currently availble
machine trust uid. I started at 10000 and am now at 10050. To create
this file just do the following in the same directory that this script
is in:
echo 10000 > muid
the usage is:
mtrust {machine_name}
no need to add the dollarsign on the command line as the script adds it
for you.
BTW: I am no script genius... as I am sure is quite obvious. ;)
