[Samba] Re: Samba machine trust account setting in FreeBSD

[Jeffrey R. Meyer]

I am assuming that you edited the /etc/passwd file via vi or another text
editor?  If this is the case, appending a $ to the machine account will not
work under FreeBSD.  Instead as root type vipw and then append the $ to the
machine account.  I have done this and it works under FreeBSD.
