Having received no responses, I will try again. I can't seem to get
preexec to work as stated in my earlier email given below. Any help
would be most appreciated. I am using samba-2.0.3-19990228 in
combination with RH 5.2 with kernel-2.2.1.
Thanks,
Carey

Subject: Help with preexec
I am trying to incorporate nonstandard home directories into my
"homes"
share, meaning the I have users that have home directories under /home
and /staff. I found the macro (%H) that can be used to access these
directories, but am now trying to implement an automatic initial
creation of a .samba directory under each user's home directory if
there is none present.
I am basically following the procedure as set forth in Blair's book
on page 237 for using the "preexec" and "root preexec"
commands. The
following usage of "root preexec" command,
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
path = %H/.samba
root preexec = if [ ! -e %H/.samba ]; \
then /bin/mkdir %H/.samba ; \
chown %u.%u %H/.samba ; fi
browseable = no
writable = yes
works fine, but the regular "preexec",
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
path = %H/.samba
preexec = if [ ! -e %H/.samba ]; \
then /bin/mkdir %H/.samba ; fi
browseable = no
writable = yes
does not work. I would much prefer this be done under the userid.
Is there something I'm missing?
Thanks,
Carey
