netlogons, new users, and ver. 1.9.17p4

[Brian Fernald]

We upgraded to version 1.9.17p4 running on a sparcstation, solaris 2.6.  
We have had no problems in the past with netlogon scripts. However, now 
all of our current users have no problems, but when new users (new since 
upgrade) log in, their netlogon script is not ran. Once logged in, 
however, they can browse the netlogon folder manually and run their 
scripts. It then mounts all of their drives.  I checked the log file for 
an old user, vs. a new user and I noticed the following difference :

Log for old user 

>found free connection number 73
> Connect path is /usr/samba/netlogon
> chdir to /usr/samba/netlogon


Log for new user

>found free connection number 31
>Connect path is /tmp
>chdir to /tmp


Why are all the new users being pointed to /tmp while old user are 
pointing to /usr/samba/netlogon?

Below is a copy of my smb.conf

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
