By default, adduser will verify the user against a configurable regexp, default being the most conservative ^[a-z][a-z0-9\-]*$. The --force-badname option will change the regexp to a hardcoded ^[-\._A-Za-z0-9]*\$?$, allowing users to happily hang themselves.
To use Samba as a windows (NT) PDC, you must create 'machine' accounts
ending with '$', like 'appolo$'. In that case, the --force-badname
is helpfull.
PS I guess useradd is more friendly to bad names, because I used it
in my smb.conf:
"add machine script = /usr/sbin/useradd
-d /dev/null -s /bin/false -g machines -c "Machine %u" %u"
