[rhn-users] RHEL4 as Samba PDC

[Bruce W. Martin]

To use Samba as a windows (NT) PDC, you must create 'machine'  
accounts ending with '$', like 'appolo$'.
The current version of adduser (useradd) does not allow names with a  
$ in them and there is no longer a --force-badname option. How can I  
get around this. I don't want to have to set up a machine running  
debian just to be a PDC.
