Given the diversity of opinion over drive mapping and the ability to do
this through netlogon.bat, I don't think we should include this at
this stage. It can be done with a custom template or an add-on RPM until
people agree on what should be in there. I'd propose a LogonDrive
parameter to the smb service, and if set, generate the output line.

It's a basic philosophy to avoid having world-writable directories. Can
anyone confirm that they must be world-writable, or alternatively suggest
more restrictive permissions which work?

Is it "printing" or installation of printer drivers which is failing?
