Thanks for the info. I've been trying to get this to work but I'm having
difficulty with it.
I put the statement "logon script = startup.bat" in my [global] section. I
also inserted
[netlogon]
path=/usr/local/samba/lib
browseable = no
share modes = no
into the smb.conf. And I made a startup.bat which I placed in
/usr/local/samba/lib, and which contains only the command "net use h:
/homes". But when I log in to the PC, unfortunately it doesn't connect me to
the homes share automatically like I thought it should. I checked the samba
logs and I don't see any error messages there. Anybody have ideas about what
I might be doing wrong?
startup.bat is a batch file that is going to be executed by
the Windows machine when you logon to Windows. The Windows
machine doesn't understand a command like "net use h: /homes"
because "/homes" is a path that has meaning only on the Unix
machine and doesn't mean anything to Windows.
You're going to want something like "net use h: \\sambaserver\homes"
instead.
Also, it should be automatically connecting you to your home
directory by virtue of having "logon path" and "logon drive"
specified in smb.conf, so you don't need to add a "net use"
command for your home directory. It's only needed for other
shares.
