Ummm, why? You can already do it with a 'root preexec' for the netlogon
share, and since all you are doing is generating a netlogin.bat.

Also, it does not matter that netlogon is accessed twice (mapped twice) as
the function performed by a 'root exec' should be pretty much idempotent.

Just what do you think the 'unix-side login script function' would do?
