That's the Linux useradd command: you can see the man page at http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=useradd&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=Red+Hat+Linux%2Fi386+7.3&format=html The flags mean: -c "Samba ODC for MYDOMAIN" Real (GCOS) name for account -M Don't create home dir for account, even if default is to do so. -s /bin/false Use /bin/false as shell -n Add group of same name as user to be default group for account PERSEUS$ Username for account. As I remember, the trailing $ sign is significant for Samba when acting as a domain controller. In the BSD idiom, the equivalent would be something like: pw useradd -n 'PERSEUS$' -c "Samba ODC for MYDOMAIN" -d /nonexistent \ -s /sbin/nologin except that pw will complain that '$' is not a valid character in a username. Off hand the only way I can think of to get round that is to create the account without the '$' and then use vipw(8) to add it after the fact: # pw useradd -n 'PERSEUS' -c "Samba ODC for MYDOMAIN" -d /nonexistent \ -s /sbin/nologin # vipw # vi /etc/group # id 'PERSEUS$' uid=1002(PERSEUS$) gid=1002(PERSEUS$) groups=1002(PERSEUS$) Cheers, Matthew -- Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil. 26 The Paddocks Savill Way Marlow Tel: +44 1628 476614 Bucks., SL7 1TH UK To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
