[Samba] Re: samba Digest, Vol 16, Issue 45

[A.J.Dawson]

Hi Mike,

You may need to create the netlogon folder in your Samba directory tree.
Samba is installed on my servers in /usr/local/samba - netlogon is a
subfolder of that, with scripts being a subfolder of the netlogon
directory.

My logon scripts are therefore in /usr/local/samba/netlogon/scripts and
are owned by root.root, readable by all.  Find your Samba directory and
have a look for the netlogon folder there.

I hope that helps!

Andy
