Samba: Adding Homes to PDC causes netlogon.bat script to not execute

Neruocomp · 06-03-2009, 12:57 PM

I have a samba server running as a PDC with ldap as its backend. The PDC does not have a [homes] directive as I have another samba server running on our file server that has the homes directive. It was no problem being that I had a script in [netlogon] called netlogon.bat that would mount the home directories on windows. Now everytime someone logs on, I get an error message in the logs that say service 'username' cannot be found. Well I tested it out with a user by creating a [username] directive. Well the message goes away, but now netlogon.bat is not being executed. And its not like it cannot be accessed. I can from windows navigate to \\pdc\netlogon and execute the script and have it mount the directories. Any ideas?

Code:

[global]
        workgroup = x.x.x
        netbios name = Ross
        server string = PDC %v

        add user script = /usr/sbin/smbldap-useradd -m '%u'
        delete user script = /usr/sbin/smbldap-userdel %u
        add group script = /usr/sbin/smbldap-groupadd -p '%g'
        delete group script = /usr/sbin/smbldap-group-del '%g'
        add user to group script = /usr/sbin/smbldap-groupmod -m '%u' '%g'
        delete user from group script = /usr/sbin/smbldap-groupmod -x '%u' '%g'

        os level = 225

        domain master = Yes
        wins support = Yes
        ldap admin dn = cn=samba,ou=DSA,dc=x,dc=x,dc=x
        ldap group suffix = ou=group
        ldap idmap suffix = ou=Idmap
        ldap machine suffix = ou=machines
        ldap passwd sync = Yes
        ldap suffix = dc=x,dc=x,dc=x
        ldap ssl = start tls
        ldap user suffix = ou=people
        create mask = 0640
        directory mask = 0750
        case sensitive = No
        dont descend = /proc,/dev,/etc,/lib,/lost+found,/initrd

        hosts deny = ALL
        hosts allow = x.x.0.0/x.x.0.0
[netlogon]
        comment = Network Logon Service
        path = /etc/samba/netlogon
        guest ok = Yes
        browseable = no

[profiles]
        path = /etc/samba/profiles
        valid users = %U
        force user = %U
        writeable = yes
        read only = No
        create mask = 0600

        profile acls = Yes
        browseable = No

        guest ok = no
[profiles.V2]
## For Vista
        copy = profiles
        path = /etc/samba/profiles/%U.V2

Then the netlogon.bat

Code:

NET USE * /DEL /YES

Net TIME \\ross.x.x.x

NET USE W: \\cajal.x.x.x\Public

NET USE X: \\cajal.x.x.x\homes

I think it is the issue with permissions

Check the netlogon directory(and similar specified in the smb.conf global aswell as homes sec)
whether the these directories are writable by the concerned users?

I have had also the same problem. But it solved though i don't exactly know how it solved. May be I changed the permissions

in you smb.conf(G) you have;

Quote:

logon script = netlogin.bat

but your script is named netlogon.bat

Quote:

NET USE X: \\cajal.x.x.x\homes

you dont seem to have the [homes] section, so where are the users' home directories????
