Samba PDC without roaming profiles

owen.roberts · 06-23-2009, 09:47 AM

Hi,
Im trying to set up a samba PDC and login to it from Vista, and everything is fine except that the login script is not getting run at all.
I dont want roaming profiles, I just want a script to map the samba users drive and a couple of other network shares.

Pasting smb.conf at end of post. The logon script is in the netlogon directory and Im pretty sure all the permissions are ok.
/home/samba/netlogon/logon.cmd
This is a windows file.

Vista logs in ok as the domain user, just no script! Please help!
Thanks heaps!
Owen

Hi !

Please, check if all users have read and execute permissions on every path of "/home/samba/netlogon/logon.cmd".
You can test the execution on a windows machine by opening a command.com and typying:

Code:

C:\>\\TILVERTON\netlogon\logon.cmd

You can also browse or mount the netlogon share to a letter (N: or whatever) and trying to execute the file as if a regular program (default:double click).

Thanks heaps marozsas!!

I didn't have execute permissions on the netlogon directory at the group level.
I just ran
chmod 755 /home/samba/netlogon

and its all good.

Thanks so much!
