[Samba] Login script doesn't run - Solved

[Bob Crandell]

I hate being stupid.  Here is the answer:
This won't work:
[global]
        logon script = %U.bat     #   Win9x needs this

This will work:
[global]
#   Win9x needs this
        logon script = %U.bat

The comment has to be on it's own line.

Thanks to all for trying to help.
