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
