Using Ethereal it was plain to see that the workstation did not send anything to Samba either - it just dropped off the network. As far as Samba was concerned the client was still connected and the user was still logged in. Too bad. I just hoped it was possible for Samba to notice that when user uploaded his/her profile, this also means that that user has just logged off (and therefore, Samba shall trigger some %U script).

[Samba] %U server-side script executed after user logs out - possible?
Hello, I ahve a Samba domain controller and Windows users in that domain. I would like to execute a script on a server for a user that logs out. For example, after user joe logged out, I would like to execute /home/samba/scripts/logout/joe.sh Is it possible? If so, how?

Is it Windows-version specific problem (i.e. NT4 and win2k with no service packs only), Samba-version problem (Samba 3.0.5), or it just works like that and noone know why? :) As far as I understand postexec, it will execute each time after user disconnets from a given share: [profiles] path = /home/samba/profiles (...) root postexec = /home/samba/scripts/logout/%u.sh So joe.sh should execute after Joe logs out.
