[Samba] Samba login scripts

[Bob Crandell]

Hi Sandy,

You should hit "Reply All" to keep our exchange on the list.  At least until
they get it fixed.

Whether you use SuSE's version or the latest is up to your situation.  If you
are running into bugs, then get the latest.  In my case, I know there are
outstanding bugs but I haven't run into any of them.

Are your workstatons XP/2000, Win98 or mixed?
If XP/2000 then
  The user is in a variable. It's up you to learn DOS batch file programming.

If Win98 then
  You will need to set logon script = %u.bat
  In each user's batch file set variables that determine which group they are
in and call the main login script.

If it's a mixed environment then
  It's a little messy but once it's setup adding and changing users is almost
painless.

Good luck.
