samba - Jul 2002 - need help with preexec

Hi all

I wanted to send a message to users when they are mapping, to migrate to
different samba server

I am assuming preexec will do this, users are w2k clients,
i would like w2k clients to get a message, like a popup windows box with
message once they map to thier unix home directory

how would i do that, does preexec will help me here

thanks

What is your question. Preexec will do it, if they have popup messages
enabled on their machines.
Here are the values I trap when a user logs on.
This is for a guest sign in with ftp. If you have logins, you should get
the user name and his machine. Maybe that might be enuf to contact them.

client machine NetBios name = hammer7 (%m)
Primary goup name of U = ftp (%G)

Current time and date= 2002/07/21 09:55:16 (%T)
Session user name (one the client wanted)= ftp (%U)
Architecture of remote machine= Samba (%a)
Process ID of current server= 21314 (%d)
Internet DNS hostname of server= jhammer6 (%h)
Path of services home directory from NIS= (%p)
Samba version= 2.2.1a (%v)
Home directory of user in u= /home/ftp (%H)
Root directory of current service = / (%P)
Name of current service = public (%S)

from "man smb.conf"

preexec (S)

       This  option specifies a command to be run whenever the service is
connected to. It takes the usual sub?
       stitutions.

       An interesting example is to send the users a welcome message every
time they log in. Maybe a message of
       the day? Here is an example:

            preexec = csh -c ?echo \"Welcome to %S!\" |
/usr/local/samba/bin/smbclient -M %m -I %I? &

       Of course, this could get annoying after a while :-)

       See also preexec close and postexec.

       Default:      none (no command executed)

       Example:
               preexec = echo \"%u connected to %S from %m (%I)\"
>> /tmp/log


you're served :-)
