similar to: Odd preexec/root preexec behavior

Hi, I make use of shadow_copy2 and root preexec. The vfs root preexec is responsible to auto create home directories which initially don't exist. The script behind it is well tested and works perfectly. Unfortunaltely shadow_copy2 seems to be called before root preexec and fails due to the missing ZFS home share which causes the session to fail completely before root preexec even has a

Hi. I'm tesing Samba 3.0.7-a on Debian Sarge with Debian kernel 2.6.8. I am working on auto-creation of logon scripts, & am using a root preexec on the netlogon share for this. In testing I have passed the user ID to the script, and have used echo to test output. The netlogon service parameters and other info are below. The output from the script occurs twice in the output file,

Hi folks, I'm having a problem queuing an 'at' job from a root preexec. I have a shell script which queries LDAP for per-user quota information and sets the local filesystem quotas accordingly. This runs, and runs fine, out of the root preexec on our users home share. But we bin running a server with broken quotas for a while, and had to turn quotas off. We're ready to try

Last night at home, and on a second system today at work, I tried putting in the sample preexec statement contained in the smb.conf man page to check it's effect on the domain logons. Just like the preexec for the perl script it kills domain logons. As that script is right in the smb.conf man page I'd certainly expect that to work. As one final shot at this I'll post my smb.conf for

Maybe I finally figured it out. I found that sentence "For example, the [test] and [homes] sections are unique disk shares; they contain options that map to specific directories on the Samba server." here: https://www.samba.org/samba/docs/using_samba/ch06.html Does that mean that this "preexec" in the [homes] section is not invoked if the user is accessing his or her home

Hello everybody, I am trying to get samba 4 to make a user dir without the use of ADUC to set the homeDirectory, but with samba-tool user create only. I created a root preexec but the %U is filled with root and not the username of the user. I need to user [users] and not the old [homes] because I got a GPO for redirection to the //server/users/%USERNAME% and I need this folder to be created

Hi, I'm doing an upgrade to the latest samba 3.0.28, and something's bugging me: on the old server I had this working OK: root preexec = /usr/local/bin/ntlogon.py --user=%U --os=%m --dir=/home/samba/netlogon/ && /usr/local/bin/pdc-log.sh %U %m %a %d On 3.0.28, I can only get the first script to run, everything after && is ignored. I have tried to put just the second

Looks like my nfsv4 kerberos and root access problem. In that case, root didnt have a kerberos ticket, and was not allowed to access the needed folder. I think this is a bit the same. Creating the users and profiles shares from ADUC is working fine for me but not scripted from user root. Greetz, Louis > -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- > Van: samba [mailto:samba-bounces at

I a have a problem resulting from a neat tool I developed through the use of the "root preexec" option: This is done in the [homes] section of smb.conf. I launch a shell script with the user name (%u) and machine name (%m). The shell calls a C program to check the users quota and returns a code as the percentage of quota used. Meanwhile, all output of the C program has been captured

Been looking around for this. When does Samba determine when to check for changes to the smb.conf file? Is there a certain amount of seconds set? - Kris Jordan -

The next interesting question for me is: If I put '\\server\%username%' into ADUC Windows part (or \\server\username explicitly, for that matter), Samba on 'Ok/Apply' registers the attempt to access a non-existing share and applies the [homes] section (executes 'root preexec'). I tested that. However, the user doing this is the domain admin. So Samba would look that

Rowland, thanks for your effort, I highly appreciate it! From what I had read before... [home] would be an arbitrarily named share and its preexec command would execute whenever a domain user connects to it [homes] is a special purpose section in the smb.conf that comes into play whenever a domain user connects to his or her home dir defined on the DC What MJ is telling seems to confirm

Hi Rowland, thank you for your effort! However, this is entirely not what I am trying to achieve. What I am trying to achieve is to get the "prexec" method to work. The reason behind this is that I would like to have a zfs data set created per user in an automatic (scripted) way. The reason behind that is that if I do this by hand - from a domain admin account and with the ACL

Hi, I am trying to automatically create nested zfs data sets as home directories. I have a script that works fine if I execute it manually as root (auth via public key). It also creates a short log file in the same dir. However, this section in my smb.conf (on the DC) doesn't seem to execute (no data set created, no log file) on user logon (on a member server): [homes] comment =
