Thanks pravin At its' simplest, a logon script is just a couple of net use lines, so you can map drives automagically. Instead, why not figure out why your perl script doesn't work. First try it at a command prompt on your Linux machine (with the appropriate command line arguments, naturally). That lets you narrow it down from the script itself being broken, to how you have set up your smb.conf file.

Re: [Samba] Profiles and automatic drive mappings
The actual root of this problem is educating your users to put SHORTCUTS on their desktop, not the actual files themselves... poor organization of files, if you ask me.

Re: [Samba] vorkomg on vmware virtual machine
We have been running our production Samba server on VMWare GXS server for just about a year now. First on version one, now on version two (upgrade performed a few weeks ago). The original poster does not say whether they are using VMWare workstation, or VMWare GSX server. For testing purposes, though, I do not see any problem with running it on VMWare workstation, over the higher end GSX server product. Our parent O/S is Linux, while cferent's O/S is Windows 2000. I do not know if that could be a factor or not. The things that pop to mind to check are: - make sure you have no limitations on the parent O/S (firewall issues and the like) - make sure your virtual machine has full networking, and is not locked down to the parent O/S. - Arthur's point of a unique IP address is, of course, a valid one. You would not need a seperate physical network interface, though. Some of the things to look at, same as with non-vmware setup: - do you have full networking INTO the Linux virtual machine, say with SSH/telnet/web? If not, that is a big problem indicator right there. - did you accidentally install the default firewall for whatever Linux distro you used? (IPChains/IPTables). - proper guest setup in the smb.conf, /etc/password, smbpasswd file? Long story short: Yes, it is possible to run a Samba server on a virtual machine, using VMWare. You may want to post your smb.conf to the list, if you have verified that there are no network access problems to the virtual machine.
