samba - Feb 1998 - Logon script

Hello,

I am having a little problem with executing logon scripts on Win95 clients,
logging into Samba Netlogon service.
When a user logges in, a MS-DOS prompt shows up and quicky disappears. Then
I get 
"Please Wait While your logon script executes". It hangs at that
point. A
user has to hit cancel to start his win95 session.
I have done the logon script in MS-DOS editor. I have the identical copy of
the batch file on the Win95 machine. If, 
I run the logon.bat script in ms-dos prompt manually, it all executes
successfully.

My [netlogon] share looks like:

[netlogon]   
comment = Samba Network Logon Service
path = /usr/local/samba/netlogon
browseable = no  
guest ok = no
writeable = no 

In [global] I have:

domain logons = yes
logon script = LOGON.BAT

therefor, the complete path of the LOGON.BAT is:
/usr/local/samba/netlogon/LOGON.BAT

The permission is:
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  340 Feb  1 17:16
/usr/local/samba/netlogon/LOGON.BAT


I am using Samba Version 1.9.18p2.

Thanks in advance,

I suspect your problem is the 'browseable' setting.  Try setting
'browseable = yes' and see if it works.  I believe the Windows 95 logon
script code checks to see if the share is accessible by trying to browse
it, rather than trying to access it.

I have a logon script declared for a domain of Win95.
Here is my declaration for netlogon :

[netlogon]
   comment = Samba Network Logon Service
   path = /home/netlogon
   case sensitive = no
   guest ok = yes
   locking = no
   write list = [snip snip]
   admin users = [snip snip]
   browseable = no

note the two differences :
case sensitive = no  => I think you have to put this to ensure case
sensiticity is not on. It may be your problem, because your login script
name is upper case : LOGON.BAT parhaps you try to access it with a
different case...

locking = no => very usefull to permit the script to be accessible from
more than one user at the same time. Perhaps it can do the trick

of course, the need of those lines depends of your global settings, but
try with those two lines...

The browseable = no is not the problem : it is working for me so ...

Hope this will help

Hi All (again),

If there something special required to set up logon scripts under 
samba-1.9.18p2.?  I don't seem to see anything even attempted 
to be executed when a user logs in.

I created a netlogon resource like so:

[netlogon]
	comment = Network Connection
	browseable = yes
	writeable = no
	path = /usr/local/samba/netlogon

And I put a 'logon script = profile.bat' in the global section of
the smb.conf file.  profile.bat is rwxr--r-- and is owned by an id
'samba'.

Profile.bat has a 'net time' in it as well as the execution of a local
hard drive utility.

Has anyone else got this to work?  I've got Win95 and NT clients.

Thanks in advance.
Corey M. Wirun.

Do you have 'domain logons = yes' in the global section of smb.conf?  If
you need login scripts for NT clients you can either...

	- Place a batch file in the common startup group ( for All Users
	).  The samba server should accept guest access.  For example here
 	is the batch file on the local PC and login.bat is on a network
	share

		@echo off
		net use x: \\sambaguest\scripts /user:x x
		call x:\login.bat
		net use x: /d /yes

	and login.bat has whatever you want.

OR....

	- Get the BRANCH_NTDOM code via cvs and setup samba as an 
	NT PDC :)

Hi,

does the option 'logon script' requires anything special on the NT
side to work? I've a logon script which keeps on getting ignored.
I can't seem to find any error in the log files (not even with debug
level 3).
Does that file really needs to be relative to the netlogon path?
If so, can it be on automounted directories?
Does the file need to be executable or something?

Any help would be appreciated.

Is your NT configured to use logon script?
it is something to go with the registry (I don't know where to find it
elsewhere in NT)
In 95 it would be in : 
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Network\Logon\ProcessLoginScript
(binary key)
it should be set up to 01
your NT will search for a netlogon share and will try to find the file
told by login script option in smb.conf.

The file can be described by macro such as : %u.bat so it uses the name of
the user, %m.bat so it uses the name of the machine (netbios name)
connecting, ...

Of course the file should be such that clients have execution rights
(samba don't overwrite unix rights).

hope this will help

I volunteer at a school, where we recently installed Linux on a server,
and we run SAMBA. I have a logon script, that makes use of the "net
use"
command in Windows to map the network drives when a user logs on.

Here is what it looks like (from memory, I'm not at school now)

net use h: \\SERVERNAME\**USERNAME**
net use s: \\SERVERNAME\dropbox
net use r: \\SERVERNAME\public_folder

I can get the last two commands to work, but how can I get Windows to
give me the username as a variable? I tried %U (which is the Linux
variable), but what would I insert? Each user has their own home share
that I want to map. Thank you!

I believe the command you want to use is 

I believe the command you want to use is 

net use h: \\SERVERNAME\%USERNAME%  
The variable %username% is replaced by the user anem of the user logged
in to the system.

To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the
instructions:  lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

Create a share [netlogon] that your users only have read access to. The
logon script = parameter will then be relative to the path designated in
that share.

For instance, if [netlogon] points to /usr/local/samba/netlogon and you
have login script = %U.bat then /usr/local/samba/netlogon/fred.bat will be
launched when the user fred authenticates.
