Different policies for users on same machine. How?

[Adrian Gugoasa-Iordachescu]

How can we set up the policy working for different users (belonging to diffe
rent groups) on the same win98 machine?
Win98 looks up the netlogon share on our Samba server in security level = us
er, domain logons = yes.
It parses the config.pol file, but the only group policy defined that applie
s to ANY user logging on is the one for Users group I added in Policy Editor
..

eirvine [eirvine at tpgi.com.au] was so nice to send me this solution:

Thank you Eddie,

But what happens when two different users are logging on the same machine at
different times of day?
Have you set on every machine a different path for the manual update of the
policy file?
The bottom line is I want to know more about what you meant by 'their netlog
on share'.

Thank you very much again
