Have you checked the worked example network configurations that have network 
logon scripts in the book "Samba-3 by Example"?

You can download a PDF of the book from:

http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba3-ByExample.pdf

If you still have problems with the examples in this book please let me know 
so I can correct any mistakes made in the book.
