i'm setting up samba on my FreeBSD box.  the goal is to make it a PDC.

i'm following the directions from "Samba Unleased" by SAMS.

in the instructions, there's mention that each machine needs to have a
user account on the server.

it gives the following command to setup a machine account:

useradd -c "Samba ODC fir MYDOMAIN' -M -s /bin/false -n PERSEUS$

now, I don't know what the -M stands for when you add a user.  i'm
assuming i need to use "pw useradd".  when i try i get an error.

the man page for pw shows a -M, but it's only used for the groupadd
option.

i would like to know what i should use instead of the -M.

any and all help will be appreciated.
