[Samba] Win98 policies,profiles and logon scripts
I am running Samba 2.2.3a and have my users logging into the 'samba domain'. My WinNT and WinXP users are working fine with roaming profiles and policies. My problem is my Win98 users. The logon script doesn't seem to be working, i.e. when I log onto a Win98 machine (logging into the domain), the logon script doesn't run. I have opened up the permissions to the logon script (for testing) and that doesn't seem to help, it's still not running. Also, I have implemented a domain policy to 'exclude directories in roaming profiles', namely temporary internet files, cookies, etc. This policy works fine for WinNT but doesn't seem to work for Win98, is this a 'feature' of WinNT and not Win98? I did create separate policies for WinNT (ntconfig.POL) and Win98 (config.POL). Other settings within the policy ARE working, for example, restricting the screen saver tab on the display.

[Samba] Win98 policies,profiles and logon scripts
Yes, I'm using the ntconfig.POL for XP users. by 'default' I'm
referring
to the default profile for new users. I use the copy facility to copy a
default profile on top of the new users (local) profile on their machine,
then log on as that user and log out (which copies the 'new' profile) to
the server. I would have used the 'default user' profile (placed in the
netlogon share), but I've noticed a few differences between Win2K and WinXP
so I do it manually instead.
