We want it to be similar in functioning also. It's like logging into a public terminal, we can even make it password less. In any case, have a look at the postexec parameter in smb.conf.

We can't do it at log out time as the user may just physically shutdown the system and avoid the script from running. PS: Found out earlier that home directory of 'guest' account available in ubuntu is created in /tmp when the account is accessed. Would be a much better idea if we can implement the same. -- Kartik Singhal BTech CSE Student, NIT Calicut http://www.techglider.com _______________________________________________ Ilugd mailing list Ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd
