I am newbie.I want to know which script logs the netlogon details for individual user and systems.Can we edit the file ????.
I want to throw a simple message when the user logs on to the server through his window username and password.Please suggest me the best way.
I am able to run a small batch file which set the server time to the system.Its working properly.Along with this batch file I want to give a small welcome message in a small message box saying hello <user name>.when his system boots.
I am able to throw a simple message through telnet.But I want to try this option along with the batch file.

You can run a batch file for each user by setting the logon script in smb.conf to %U.bat, then have that file call a common.bat, this way each user has their own login and you can maintain common mappings and settings in one file.

The commands in the batch file are windows commands, not linux so you can write a program in vb, c, whatever and run it from the batch file to popup a welcome splash screen. You'll have to put this in each users batch file if you want thier name displayed because you can use the username variables in your batch scripts.

thanks for the reply.I am able to use a small ".bat" file which sets the server time to window98 machines when it starts.
net time \\servername /set /yes

Those who log to the sever,the scripts sets the server time to the local machine.If you have the scripts to throw a window from the batch file please post me.
How will I send the username variable from batch file to other file.

assuming you are using a windows client

just add

echo hello %username%

to the batch file before the net time line, if you want to run an additional program from a batch file just add

call path\program.exe

and use the %username% in the other program, you could always use 'set' in the login script to carry variables forward

thanks to te_conway and ratface for you support.I am working out.
