[Samba] Can't get 'root preexec' to run

[Ole Traupe]

Meanwhile I managed to search the thread titles of the last 5 years 
manually for "preexec". Is there a better solution for accessing the 
archive of this list?

Still I can't get the DC's [homes] section's 'preexec' command to run on 
user logon (on one of the domain member PCs). Selinux on the DC is off, 
of course. I also tried the log-on on a Win7 domain member instead of 
linux, but still no sign of the script running: my log file is not 
created; zfs data sets neither. I made sure that the log file is created 
even if zfs data set creation fails to some reason.

What might be interfering with this? I read the explanation of the 
'preexec' command in the manpages but there is no direct reference to 
its use in the [homes] section.

Even remote ideas would be most welcome!
