[Samba] logon scripts and variable substitution on the windows side

Hallo, nikos,

Du meintest am 17.12.11:

If I have understood the system(s):

"%L" is a linux variable on the server,
"net use" is (mostly) a command which is run from/on a client (windows  
or Linux) which knows nothing about the servers'/samba's variables.

For those purposes I run on the server (in the "home" share) a command

	root preexec = /etc/samba/exec/parameter %u %a %g %m

which runs the linux/bash script "parameter", and "parameter writes a  
(windows) batch file into the user's home directory which contains lines  
like

@echo off
if a%Server% == a set Server=192.168.0.1
set opsys=WinXP
set group=lehrer
set machine=__ffff_192.168.0.42


Viele Gruesse!
Helmut
