The -support is still experimental, but it seems to work. - -The support is also not complete. Samba does not yet support the -sharing of the SAM database with other systems yet, or remote -administration. Support for these kind of things should be added -sometime in the future. - -The domain support only works for WfWg and Win95 clients. Support for -NT and OS/2 clients is still being worked on. - -Using these features you can make your clients verify their logon via -the Samba server and make clients run a batch file when they logon to -the network. The latter is particularly useful. - -To use domain logons you need to do the following: - -1) Setup nmbd and smbd and configure the smb.conf so that Samba is -acting as the master browser. See INSTALL.txt and BROWSING.txt for -details. - -2) create a share called [netlogon] in your smb.conf. This share should -be readable by all users, and probably should not be writeable. This -share will hold your network logon scripts. - -For example I have used: - - [netlogon] - path = /data/dos/netlogon - writeable = no - guest ok = yes - - -3) in the [global] section of smb.conf set the following: - - domain logons = yes - logon script = %U.bat - -the choice of batch file is, of course, up to you. The above would -give each user a separate batch file as the %U will be changed to -their username automatically. The other standard % macros may also be -used. You can make the btch files come from a subdirectory by using -soemthing like: - - logon script = scripts\%U.bat - -4) create the batch files to be run when the user logs in. If the batch -file doesn't exist then no batch file will be run. - -In the batch files you need to be careful to use DOS style cr/lf line -endings. If you don't then DOS may get confused. I suggest you use a -DOS editor to remotely edit the files if you don't know how to produce -DOS style files under unix. - -5) Use smbclient with the -U option for some users to make sure that -the \\server\NETLOGON share is available, the batch files are visible -and they are readable by the users. - -6) you will probabaly find that your clients automatically mount the -\\SERVER\NETLOGON share as drive z: while logging in. You can put some -useful programs there to execute from the batch files. - - -NOTE: You must be using "security = user" or "security = server" for -domain logons to work correctly. Share level security won't work -correctly. - - |
