  • [Samba] hpux samba3 logon script not running

    From Arjit Gupta via samba@21:1/5 to All on Mon Mar 20 05:50:01 2017
    Hi All,

    As mentioned earlier i am new to this.
    With my testing i am confused with below lines mentioned in Using Samba 2nd edition subheading 4.4.

    or to* log on* to the domain, in the case of Windows NT/2000/XP

    Most commonly, the logon script is used to run a net command, such as net >>use, to connect a network drive letter, like this:
    net use T: \\toltec\test
    This command will make our [test] share (from Chapter 2) show up as the
    T: drive in My Computer.
    This will happen automatically, and T: will be available to the user at
    the beginning of her session, instead
    of requiring her to run the net use command or connect the T: drive using
    the Map Network Drive
    function of Windows Explorer.

    Query:- My understanding is samba only offers file, printer share services
    and we authenticate user to access these services.
    *Is it possible to logon from windows client directly to CIFS Domain ? If
    so please share how could i do the same ?*

    Usually i starts by login into my windows machine and then mount cifs drive
    by using Map Network Drive.

    Hello Arjit,

    But not able to do so. Though i am able to execute it later from the
    share
    itself.

    Below is my smb.conf file.

    [global]
    logon script = %U.bat
    ...
    [netlogon]
    comment = The domain logon service
    path = /var/opt/samba/netlogon
    ...


    Is the logon script available directly in the root of the "netlogon"
    share? You use %U.bat, where %U is replaced with the user name (for
    example "agupta.bat"). Can you please check if files for each user exist
    in /var/opt/samba/netlogon/ ?

    To make sure that it's not a problem of variable substitution, temporarily:
    - Change "%U.bat" to "script.bat".
    - Reload Samba.
    - Create the file "/var/opt/samba/netlogon/script.bat" with some
    content. For example:
    net use X: \\cifs\tmp
    - Verify that you can execute the script by double-clicking.
    - Log on and see, if the X: drive is mapped.


    Regards,
    Marc
