samba - Jul 2010 - sambaLogonScript [another] problem

Hi there, i'm having another problem with the samba logon scripts. Like 
i said in the previous thread, in my smb.conf is defined to users use 
group defined logon scripts:

logon script = %G.bat

In the previous thread we also reached the conclusion that when the 
desired logon script of the users matches the logon script defined in 
the smb.conf, i can't have it defined in the ldap database, otherwise 
the script would not load.

But it happens that when i create a new user, the sambaLogonScript entry 
in the ldap database is set to %G.bat, exactly the entry i MUST NOT have 
to load the script. Since i'm expanding my network and tons of new users 
are coming, i trying to keep things very organized. I'll need to change 
this entry for every new user or there is a smarter way to do this?

I'm using Samba 3.4.7.

Tks in advance and sorry for my poor english.

I don't quite understand your problem here. From one of your previous 
posts, I understand that you are using smbldap-tools.
So, upon creating a new user, why don't you add the parameter -E
"" to
smbldap-useradd? See "man smbldap-useradd" for all parameters.

Either way, there are good web front ends to LDAP available, such as:

LAM - LDAP Account Manager
http://www.ldap-account-manager.org/

phpLDAPadmin
http://phpldapadmin.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Main_Page

And two programs:

LDAP Admin (a Windows program)
http://ldapadmin.sourceforge.net/index.html

Apache Directory Studio (very complete, runs on several platforms)
http://directory.apache.org/studio/

All of them are worth a try. I use all of them, to different purposes 
and on different occasions.
