Good day..... This is a slightly older issue for me. In the past I had tried to install Samba on a centos 4.0 box, and the useradd tool on Centos 4 would not add the "$" character to the usernames being created. This showed up whenever a domain trust was trying to be established for a computer that was logging into the samba share for the first time. Maybe I messed something up, but it was not an issue on whitebox linux (which i ended up using for the install at that time)
At any rate - I was wondering if anyone ran into this issue on the current 4.3 (or even 4.2 for that matter) version?
I have another install coming up and I would * really * prefer to use the latest centos build.
Thanks!
Dustin

Unless that was a EL3 install, there should be no difference.

I would recommend that you use the smbldap tools and LDAP to store your samba information ...

If something works on EL4 (any other version) and not CentOS-4 ... I will fix it :)

Dustin, I ran into this on 4.0, too. It's fixed now.
For those interested in the details, here are some notes from `rpm -q --changelog shadow-utils` :
* Mon Mar 14 2005 Peter Vrabec pvrabec@redhat.com - allow dollar sign at the end of group/user name (#150770) 2:4.0.3-42.RHEL4
* Wed Oct 27 2004 Adrian Havill havill@redhat.com 2:4.0.3-38 - conform to posix for user/group name input checking [def 3.426 and 3.189] which is posix portable filename character set [3.276] while disallowing dash for first char as recommended, and disallow dollar sign
