samba - Jul 2000 - conditional logon scripts

Hey folks,

Presently I have Samba configured to execute personalized logon scripts 
with the %U.bat option.  However, everytime I add a new user I have to copy 
the default.bat file to %U.bat.    I have very few users that need 
specialized batch startup scripts and would like to know if it is possible 
to setup Samba to check if a %U.bat exists for user %U.  If no such batch 
file exists, default.bat should be used.  This would less of a pain of 
creating a seperate batch file for a user that only requires generic logon 
scripts.

Cheers, Luc.

	You can do the equivalent with (root) preexec, 
	by looking to see if user fred has a fred.bat,
	and putting in a link if not.

	Of course, the preexec will run every time,
	causing an initial delay when connecting to
	the share.
