[Samba] Samba+PDC+LDAP (add user script + unix passwd sync) Can't call perl script

[Yannick Tousignant]

Hi everyone,

I think some people missunderstood my first message. I'm trying to
execute commands with "add user script" and "unix passwd sync" settings
in smb.conf. The problem is, thoses commands are working fine when
running them in command line, but when executed by samba passing thru
smb.conf settings, they fail silently or are half executed.

Thanks for you time,


Yannick Tousignant
