[Samba] SAMBA-LDAP and variable substition

samba gets this (as found in the logfile):

[2002/06/26 12:37:15, 2] passdb/pdb_ldap.c:get_single_attribute(360)
   get_single_attribute: [scriptPath] = [scripts\%m.bat]

If you create a file %m.bat in the netlogon share then it works ==> samba 
does not translate the value received from LDAP.

Because %m is NOT translated to a machinename when this variable is stored 
in the scriptPath variable in LDAP. That's the whole problem !
And for Win2000-WinXP you must use this attribute.
Or are you having a configuration that works with Samba and LDAP 
authentication where the Win2000 clients use the "logon script" parameter?

Thanks,
