[Samba] Win9x login script drive mapping problem

[A.J.Dawson]

I am having problems with a Windows 98 machine that is connecting to our Linux
Samba server. The problem is that I cannot get it to automatically map users
drives when they log on. The login script *appears* to run okay, but the drives
are simply not mapped.

Under Windows NT/2K this has not been a problem.

I have tried creating a one line login script along the lines of

net use * \\server\share

And even that doesnt work!

I suspect that I am doing something daft, but if anyone could give me a few
pointers, that would be most useful!

My smb.conf is attached at the bottom of the e-mail

 Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.
