+ <para>
+ This parameter specifies the batch file (<filename>.bat</filename>) or NT command file
+ (<filename>.cmd</filename>) to be downloaded and run on a machine when a user successfully logs in. The file
+ must contain the DOS style CR/LF line endings. Using a DOS-style editor to create the file is recommended.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The script must be a relative path to the <smbconfsection name="[netlogon]"/> service. If the [netlogon]
+ service specifies a <smbconfoption name="path"/> of <filename
+ moreinfo="none">/usr/local/samba/netlogon</filename>, and <smbconfoption name="logon
+ script">STARTUP.BAT</smbconfoption>, then the file that will be downloaded is:
+<programlisting>
+ /usr/local/samba/netlogon/STARTUP.BAT
+</programlisting>
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The contents of the batch file are entirely your choice. A suggested command would be to add <command
+ moreinfo="none">NET TIME \\SERVER /SET /YES</command>, to force every machine to synchronize clocks with the
+ same time server. Another use would be to add <command moreinfo="none">NET USE U: \\SERVER\UTILS</command>
+ for commonly used utilities, or
+<programlisting>
+<userinput>NET USE Q: \\SERVER\ISO9001_QA</userinput>
+</programlisting>
+ for example.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Note that it is particularly important not to allow write access to the [netlogon] share, or to grant users
+ write permission on the batch files in a secure environment, as this would allow the batch files to be
+ arbitrarily modified and security to be breached.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ This option takes the standard substitutions, allowing you to have separate logon scripts for each user or
+ machine.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ This option is only useful if Samba is set up as a logon server.
