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 http://www.0x0a.com/netlogon.php that I've modified to handle multiple groups based upon group membership in /etc/group as I need. If I run the script from a command line supplying just a username it works ok.
./netlogon.pl mrambo #This results in a good script. When I put in a root preexec like... [netlogon] comment = Network Logon Service path = /home/netlogon guest ok = yes read only = yes browseable = no printable = no write list = @adm share modes = no root prexec = /home/netlogon/netlogon.pl %U root postexec = rm -f /home/netlogon/%U.bat it fails to run. My box was running samba 2.2.3a as distributed w/RH7.3. When I inserting the root preexec statement in smb.conf the domain logons would no longer function. I received a no domain controller error message. I could still manually map drives after clicking ok at the error message though. I could not see anything in the logs related to preexec or domain logon problems at log level 2. I couldn't get log level 3 to work for some reason on the RH supplied samba so I upgraded to the 2.2.6 samba binaries on samba.org. I still get the same no domain controller error on the workstation but now with the added 'feature' that it also seems to hang an nmbd process on the server. Help!!! I worked on this almost all day Saturday including searching the samba archives on marc.theaimsgroup.com and I'm out of ideas.
