[Samba] Re: Fax from Widows

[Joel Hammer]

Preexec commands in smb.conf run anything, say a script, when the user
first accesses the share. So, if you had a standard form you sent out with
each fax, that command might be able to run a script which would prepend the
cover sheet.
Now, if you need to customize the cover sheet, that might be trickier,
and would depend on the application sending the fax, I would guess.
