One of the most irittating things about RH is they include a wierd version
of adduser which doesn't allow a $ in the name, so you have to manually
add each machine account to the passwd file, instead of being able to let
the windows machine join the domain the normal way. It's not a horrible
situation, but is annoying. Personally, I like archlinux for my servers.
Though I'm still using some RHEL4 machines, they are being phased out with
Arch.
