adduser is a perl script in 4.x. You can edit the file to allow
'$' in the user name. Or further hack it so that it knows that
any name that ends in '$' is a samba machine name and have it
execute the correct smbpasswd command as well.
A quick visit to an active irc channel should get you any help
you need. (it did me a long time ago.)
