π OPTIONS π
<machinename with ending $>β the name of the machine you're adding. and listen, it must include that ending dollar sign. yes, the famous win32 machine name specification. that$is not a typo, it is not a stray keystroke, it is the whole vibe. include it. π«Ά<groupname | gid>β the group name, or the gid, of the machine you're adding. pick your fighter, either one works.[uid]β the uid of the machine you're adding. and here's the cute part: if you don't specify it, it just gets automatically computed for you. she does the math herself, no stress β¨
