smbpassword modification & logon scripts
Hello! I've got two questions for which I haven't been able to find an answer after searching the web and the list archives. * Is it in any way possible to, from a per-user logon script, find out if the user belongs to a specific Unix group? I guess this would get pretty tricky, but is it possible at all? * I need to create a script/program that removes a user from a Unix system. The removal has to include the entries in /etc/smbpasswd and /etc/smbusers[1]. First of all, is there a utility out there already that does this? If not, how do I lock the file so to prevent samba from reading it while I'm modifying it? Which locking mechanism does samba use? [1] If I remove a Unix user, but leave the samba entry behind, problems will arise if one later creates a new user by the same name. smbpasswd (the executable) will then refuse to change the password of the user.
