samba - Jan 2005 - preexec

hello, in first sorry for my poor english

i use this script to test if a user is already connected.

#!/bin/bash
resultat=$(/usr/local/samba/bin/net status sessions |grep $1 | awk
'{print$2}')
if [ "X${resultat}" == X  ]; then
     exit 0
else
     exit 1
fi

in the smb.conf i add these lines :
[home]
root preexec = /usr/local/samba/bin/check-session %u
root preexec close = yes


when i test this script alone without samba it works fine.
/usr/local/samba/bin/net status sessions |grep utilisateur | awk
'{print$2}'
give 0 if the user is not connected, and 1 if the user is connected


when i use it with samba (with the root preexec option) the user cant connect to
the server even
he's not already connected

in the log file i've got this
[2005/01/04 11:13:27, 1] smbd/service.c:make_connection_snum(616)
root preexec gave 1 - failing connection


if someone could help me

thank you

Unless my understanding of how the preexec works, that connects as the 
user and then simply execs the script as root.  What that would mean for 
your setup is that you always have a session open by the user when you 
come looking, and then proceed to close that connection thereby 
disconnecting the user.

I'm curious as the the expected goal of this script, perhaps you could 
expand upon that?
