Hello! I wrote wbout this problem several times before. There were replies As I remember, problem can be solved by turning off kernel oplocks. But this is not solution I want to use. This problem appeared near 2.2.1 (may be existed before), but there is no such problem with 2.0. Problem existst not on every machine :-( When user with username with more than 8 characters long logins into 2.2 domain from win98se, win98 tries to execute lgin script Z:\mangled_login.bat. Very strange, but, as I pointed, there is no such problem on another computer with thi user. But user can login without any problems to 2.0 domain from this "broken" win98. Any idead? btw, RedHat 6.2, kernel 2.4.18-xfs.
