[Samba] trailing $

[David Krovich]

	Yeah, the approach I took was to use the %u macro, although I couldn't
get it to work in the service definition, ie [%u$], so I used the
include option and wrote a script to generate an include file for each
user.  With 2000 users, it's ugly and hackish, but it gets the job done.
