[Samba] Re: Samba - root preexec & login scripts

[Mike Rambo]

Last night at home, and on a second system today at work, I tried
putting in the sample preexec statement contained in the smb.conf man
page to check it's effect on the domain logons. Just like the preexec
for the perl script it kills domain logons. As that script is right in
the smb.conf man page I'd certainly expect that to work.

As one final shot at this I'll post my smb.conf for some of you to
examine. I've removed all the comments in an effor to minimize size. The
preexec statement is in the netlogon section.

Thanks.
