I would suggest use ntlogon python script. Together with "root
preexec" and "root postexec" configuration options you can set up your
logon scripts to generated upon connecting to netlogon share.
I found this utility very useful and works very well. It supports
samba variables.
Mandriva ships this utility, so must other distributions.
There is problems with groups with spaces and capital letters, but it
is very easy to fix.
