Have a look at this URL as I just used it to make a PDC out of a FreeBSD 3-5 box. I believe your problem is that the adduser script does not like the $, what I did was add a user 'mywindowspc' and then use vipw to manually add a $ as part of the name in the /etc/passwd entry has been added by adduser. http://bioserve.biochem.latrobe.edu.au/samba/ >From: Dennis Favro <dennis.favro@utoronto.ca> >To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org >Subject: Samba/NT Machine Accounts/NT Domain Controller >Message-ID: <Pine.BSF.4.21.0007310404001.76668-100000@cr743503-a.etob1.on.wave.home.com> 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? _________________________ Kevin Glavin Telco21 email: kevin@telco21.com tel: (650) 219 3900 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
