srv/usrmgr and DC

[Andrew Perrin - Demography]

Michael-

I use a very simple logon/logoff script attached to the [homes] service,
which (in our site at least) approximates login time, since users
generally neither manually connect nor disconnect the share.  Agreed it's
not foolproof, but it works:

  root preexec = echo %u > /opt/samba/status/%m
  root postexec = rm -f /opt/samba/status/%m

this just puts the logged in username in a file named after the
workstation name; I can do

cd /opt/samba/status
grep . *

and get a nice list in the form of
workstation:user
workstation:user
etc.

Hope this helps-

The problem, which seems to be the same as once before, appears to be the reply to PIPE\NET\GETDC000 and the use of wide characters. Is this a conscious favour of NT(?) prior to W95 and is it known how NT replies (both to a NT and a W95 client)?
