samba - Oct 2008 - netlogon script not running...(upgrade from 3.0.25b to 3.2.4)

Hi all,

I have been using samba for a very long time and have just upgraded my 
3.0.25b servers to 3.2.4.

I have a bunch of BDC's located in different areas of the country and a 
PDC running at HQ.
I'm using LDAP as the user directory and I replicate the tree to every 
site. Samba looks up users using the replicas.
I also use netlogon scripts to mount drives and set the time when the 
clients log on.

But,
The last machine upgraded (Novell SLES10 x86_64) refuses to "serve"
the
netlogon script anymore.
I have another exactly the same machine and smb.conf that does work, but 
this one does not.
I can see it the log.smbd that when the client logs on, the netlogon 
share is mapped and disconnected, but I can't understand why it refuses 
to run the netlogon script.

I have compared file permissions and configuration files, but I can't 
find any difference.

Can someone give me a hint on how to go on debugging this problem and 
perhaps find the reason ?

Best regards,
Johan Landerholm

Read the changelog. I think there was a change around 3.0.28 that may be
causing this problem. There are some tricks to variable expansion or
something like that.

Forgive me if I'm wrong, I just seem to remember it myself.

i have the same problem and filled out a bug report 
https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5627 and it never went 
anywhere.  my only work around was to create a shortcut in the user's 
startup folder to their netlogon script.
