>Hello all,
>
>I wrote yesterday about problems with Windows policies and Samba 2.0.4b
>yesterday. Since then, I've had someone ask for a more detailed
>explanation, so here it is.
>
>Samba currently provides domain logons for a number Windows 95 and 98
>clients (as well as the standard file serving). The domain logon currently
>succeeds, a user's username and password is accepted and the client
>computer proceeds to execute the login script (a .BAT file). However, the
>client computer does not use the policy file which is located in the
>netlogon share.
>
>I will point out the the login script and the policy file are located on
>the same share, both with the same set of permissions (writeable by one
>priveleged user only, group and world readable).
>
>Hopefully this will clear up any confusion that my original message may
>have caused.
