Hi All, I am using Samba to let my LINUX server to be accessed by my WINDOZE PC's. I have it configured to use share level config and use it as a Domain Controller. It works fine, but I would like it to automount the shares whenever a user logs in to the network. It is possible in a WINDOZE NT or 2000 setup by using login scripts. But is it possible to use it in LINUX environment i.e. by using SAMBA. Everytime I have to manually map it thru Net Neighbourhood or check the option of Auto Mapping so that it is available in the next login. It helps, but I want to control which user can access which share. The share available to the user shall appear mapped whenever he/she logs in. I think you all understand my point. If not, let me know. Any help is highly appreciated. regards, rc

I believe you're looking to run login scripts. Please stumble over to the documentation at www.samba.org or man smb.conf where this is discussed at some length. Basically you put the logon script = parameter into your smb.conf or your users' pdb entry and then make sure the script sits in the right place. You'll also find several examples of how to do all sorts of fun dynamic things in the list archives if you go looking for logon or login scripts. There are also add on tools that will give you more power than the user has for things like installing programs and whatnot. -- Paul Gienger Office: 701-281-1884 Applied Engineering Inc.
