similar to: failure running an at job from a root preexec

Hokay. It appears that enumdrivers / getdriver in rpcclient is broken, and won't be fixed soon. I'd fix it meself, but hey, I'm too busy clearing skyscrapers in a single bound and moving faster than a speeding bullet. Or maybe I looked at the cvs once and got REALLY scared. Unfortunately, I can't wait, so I've come up with a nasty hack to help us with querying samba for the

Running Samba 2.2.2, having troubles with preexec when it involves the path parameter: Log on to the samba server as kris, user "users". %U expands to kris, %G expands to users. [profile] path = /data/profile/%U preexec = /bin/mkdir -m 700 /data/profile/%U writable = yes create mode = 0600 directory mode = 0700 This fails to work, Samba reports that it could not

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 Steve, And thanks for your answer. Unfortunately it does not solve my problem. What I?m trying to do is to create two dirs using preexec in the same service. It works well as long as I?m only creating one directory, what I can?t figure out is how to create the second directory withing the same service. Eg. How would I continue after the last "fi" in the script to check for the second

Hi, I am trying to create two directories using the preexec command but I must be missing something very simple. I just can?t figure out the syntax. How would I continue this so that I could create dir2? preexec = if [ ! -e /home/%U/dir1] then /bin/mkdir /home/%U/dir1; fi Regards Robert ----------------------------------------------------------

Hi all I wanted to send a message to users when they are mapping, to migrate to different samba server I am assuming preexec will do this, users are w2k clients, i would like w2k clients to get a message, like a popup windows box with message once they map to thier unix home directory how would i do that, does preexec will help me here thanks

hi all i'm running into a little problem when using preexec scripts for the creation of dir's on my samba server.... script --- #! /bin/sh name=`getent passwd | grep %U | awk -F: '{print $5}'` mkdir /samba/test/"$name" --- snip of smb.conf --- [test] path = /samba/test preexec = /root/script browseable = Yes writeable = Yes

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,

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

Hi all, I had the following line in my smb.conf with which to log access to the home share when users logged in: preexec = /bin/echo \"%u logged in to %m at %T\" >> /var/log/samba/logons.log Since updating to LDAP however, it's stopped working and I suspect that smbldap cant handle the % substitutions for user, machine and time. Has anyone else run into this problem? If

One more time: root preexec does: run a command or script if the user hit the share. Now with msdfs proxy it need to be run on the linked host that carries the share. So you are better to set root preexec on the share of the linked host. I think there is no other way. Server1 [sharepointtoserver2] msdfs root=yes msdfs proxy =\server2\shareonserver2 Server2 [shareonserver2] Root

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

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

Sorry for the english :) Good morning, i've a little network with samba 4.2 on centos 6, NT style domain and win7 client. I've a root preexec and root postexec for tracking logon and logoff to the share. root preexec = /usr/bin/log_access.php "%L" "%U" "%G"? "%S" "%I" "%m" ON root postexec = /usr/bin/log_access.php

Hi, I was wondering if someone had any thoughts as to why "preexec" doesn't fire when "msdfs proxy" is used?

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
