Re: [Samba] RE: xp doesnt log out
The postexec tag allows code to be executed on the samba server not on the workstation. The best idea would be to use a logoff script on the windows machine, but I think with xp this requires the use of group policies. You could always include the 'net use' command as the first command in a logon script. smb.conf allows you to specify a logon script. See, http://samba.mirror.ac.uk/samba/docs/man/smb.conf.5.html#LOGONSCRIPT Hope that helps, Jon.

Is it possible to do this with samba on the server and e.g. the postexec tag? Thanks for your answers Jon! -- Sebastian Schinzel -- Jonathan Dean [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.jondean.com Dept.

Re: [Samba] RE: xp doesnt log out
'%u' is samba specific. Although you would probably be able to use '\\server\%username%' (This would use the windows username). That is, \\server\%%username% or, in a batch file, \\server\%%%username% Tricky buggers, those %'s :) -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

Even shutting down a client and waiting about a hour does not help. I have already tried this a couple of times. What about the link to the server? Do you think i should better use something like "\\server\%u"? Does Windows know something like %u, or is this samba-specific? -- Sebastian Schinzel -- Jonathan Dean [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.jondean.com Dept. Computer Science, University of Exeter, UK.

Try forcing users to reboot the xp machines rather than just logging off. On 20 Jan 2003 Sebastian Schinzel wrote: Hi everyone, i have set up a server with samba-2.2.3a-12 (Debian Woody) for a network that is shared with about 100 schools. There are about 50 Clients (WinXP) with only one local user. They are all in the same workgroup. The server has security=user and the about 100 usernames from the schools. So a kid from a given school logs into the Client with the local user (e.g. user=pc, pass=pc), but has to give a special (school-based) username and password if it wants to connect to the shares from the server (There is a link to \\server\ at the desktop). So far so good. Problem: 1. school1 logs into the server with username=school1, gets its /home/schoo1 on the server, does its work and logs out of the client 2. school2 logs into the same client, connects to the server with username=school2 and gets his own /home/school2 on the server and _also_ the /home/school1 from the previously logged in school1. school2 has then read/write access to school1! This just happens sometimes on some clients. I am not very experienced with samba, but I really dont understand, why this happens. Is this a known problem of xp, that it does remember username/password from any further logins, or is it my fault with a bad smb.conf? Is eventually the link to "\\server\" wrong? Should it better be something like "\\server\%u" ,or "\\server\~" ? Btw: I will convert the network in a domain, but it has to run with the workgroup for the next 2-3 weeks, so i hope you guys have an answer for this.
