Does anyone know if samba has to be set up a special way ADS, wins, etc... to use the netlogin directory and it's scripts? "this server is the only smb server

Hi, Don't ask why I'm posing this question -- actually, I WILL explain below -- but is there any danger in having two shares in Samba with the same name? Here's our situation.
