automating creation of home dirs

[Brad Tarver]

okay,

here is my add_user script:
#!/bin/sh
useradd -m -k /etc/skel $1
chown -R $1:$1 /home/$1
chmod -R 0750 /home/$1 &
exit 0

here is my del_user script:
#!/bin/sh
userdel $1
echo "samba user '$1' removed" > /dev/console
echo "userdir '/home/$1' still intact" > /dev/console
exit 0

here is my three lines in smb.conf that reference add_user and del_user:
[global]
 security = domain
 add user script = /usr/local/samba/bin/add_user %u
 delete user script = /usr/local/samba/bin/del_user %u

and when i go to usrmgr on the PDC and add a user, nothing happens on the
linux box...

help! please!
Brad

use the "add user script" function in smb.conf

If you need more help or a sample script let me know.

i have a linux box with samba 2.0.7. my PDC is an NT4 box.

i want to be able to add a user thru user manager for domains on the NT PDC
and it create the user and the users home dir on the linux box...

is this possible? and if so could someone give me some kind of configuration
example on how to setup that up?
