I don't think you can add >the "$" with smbpasswd in FreeBSD. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong. It depends on what version of freebsd you are running.

That change is also in the freebsd-current branch. 4.8-release will probably be the first official release which will have that change. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@gilead.netel.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
