If I understand correctly (which I may not, quite probable) the login
script is from the netlogon share. If this is so then there never will
be a race, since the preexec is run and allowed to finish before samba
will allow access to the share (so things like mount can be put in the
preexec) so windows won't get access to the logon script until after
the preexec script has run.
