I have a perl script that I'd like to use to create windows 9x login scripts at login time but I cannot get the process to work right. I have RedHat 7.3 (actually the k12ltsp v2.1.0 which is a modified RH7.3) set up as a domain controller which is working well. Manually created login scripts run fine on the workstations at login. I'm using a netlogon script I found at

I simply wonder if I can have several different logon script bat files for MS Win users that validates through my Samba PDC? Let's say that group "users" should have logon batch users.bat and the members of the group "sales" should have both users.bat and sales.bat executed at logon? Or can I in some way use ONE script with parameters that knows about what groups the user

I am trying to mount a Windows share on my Linux machine at boot time. I tried using the same syntax in /etc/fstab that is in /etc/mtab, but this did not work. Here is the mtab entry: //DELL-4400/linux /root/mnt/DELL-4400/linux smbfs 0 0 Barry

While this doesn't relate specifically to Samba, I need to do this in a netlogon .bat file in a Samba domain. In my network, I have a printer hooked to a JetDirect so that it is a TCP/IP printer. Is there a way I can automatically have this printer mapped/added when the user is logged on? -- Andrew Gaffney

I don't know the final answer BUT if you have something simmilar to a cyber-cafe LAN (I mean, users use all the computers, and maybe some users come back to login with the same name) then you have to install a printer only once in a computer, loging as the administrator and installing drivers. Then what users will have to do is JUST add the printer without installing. I know that it's

I am having the same trouble with automatically mounted home shares with samba 2.2.1a (PDC, domain logins, roaming profiles) and NT4WS sp6a. If I login as one user, logout, then login as another, I can view the previous users home share as well as my newly logged in users home share (lather, rinse, repeat...). The NT box has a machine account, domain logins work, profiles work, login scripts

Hi, Having managed to get far enough with the config to get a win2k box to connect to a Samba v3.0 share where the Samba machine's backend is based in LDAP, I cannot now add this win2k machine to the domain. Can anyone give me an example of how to set up an account within the LDAP server that has sufficient rights to allow the machine to join my Samba domain? Regards, Graham --

Hi- Our PPP RAS server is running Samba 2.2.8a and winbind. We want to authenticate dialup users through the PDC (Win NT 4 SP6). However, in order to do so, the dommainname needs to be prepended to the username, ie, DOMAIN+USERNAME. We don't want to have to teach all our dialup users to add the domainname when they login to RAS, so we are looking for a way to script this. Has anyone tweaked

Hi, Trying to be simple and direct. My last email didn't get answers. Thank you and best regards. Problem: ----------- W2K workstations remains connected do samba server at port 139, even after logoff, and this causes: false wtmp information and no possibility do control (even no fail proof) simultaneous logins. Workaround ( not acceptable )

Is there a way to automatically enable Remote Desktop from a NETLOGON script? I want to enable Remote Desktop on *a lot* of machines, but I don't want to do it manually. -- Andrew Gaffney

There was talk a few weeks ago about the possibility of a Tk-based user management tool that never happened. I'm planning on trying to do this myself. What features were to be in the one that never materialized? What features might people want in it? To begin, the program will only be able to do things that can be done straight through the existing command line tools (net, smbpasswd,

I have a network of 2K and XP clients that I am migrating to a domain using Samba 3 as a PDC. I have the domain working quite well after quite a bit of tweaking. My problem is that I want people to logon to the domain, but I also want them to keep their profiles from their local users. How can I go about this? -- Andrew Gaffney

In the samba domain I admin, one of the computers runs the Peachtree accounting software. Today, McAfee antivirus was installed on that box (not my doing) and now Peachtree keeps giving "Locking table limit reached" errors. Is this an error from samba, Windows, or Peachtree? Is there a limit to the number of file locks samba can grant at one time? -- Andrew Gaffney Network

I have a situation where some 2000 machines are unable to join the samba domain. We have about 50 machines of which two thirds are 2000 boxes. All of the 9x boxes log to the samba domain with no trouble. Of the 2000 machines we have two groups - some IBM's and some Dell's with the Dell's being a couple of months older. All of the IBM's joined the domain without problems. None of

I recently installed Samba 2.2.5 from the FreeBSD ports. It seems Samba works fine when browsing the Samba server from WinXP client, etc. I can copy files from the Samba server, and even create small files and copy small files TO the Samba server. The problem seems to be if I try to copy any file greater than 16Kbytes or so to the Samba server. When I do so, Windows XP complains with an error:

Hello, I have a Samba PDC sitting behind a Linux firewall/VPN server (using PoPToP). My remote users can log in to the VPN and they are assigned a local IP address in the same subnet as the local PC's and servers. I'd like these users to be able to log in to the Samba PDC domain when coming in via the VPN connection. How do I set up the client PC's (Win98 and 2000) to do this? I
