Hi ! 
 
This is a excerpt of the list "samba@lists.samba.org" - i think this 
would be very useful for sysadmins :-)) 
 
Best regards

The idea of putting the scripts in the ldap-dir is good :-) 
 
I saw the implementation of this on a novell-netware server. 
 
They have also a LDAP-server for managing their user-accounts, 
organized as trees, which have notes of locations, division and 
users. 
 
On every hierarchical-level you are able to define logon-skripts. 
 
If a user does a login, the several skripts at the different levels 
are merged together. 
 
I this is would be also a great oppertunity for mananging samba-domains. 
 
Through the dn it is easyly possible to get the informations, and 
to merge the logon-scripts. 
 
Maybe the standard samba-schema could be extented with that attribute ? 
 
A script, maybe written in perl, could be executed as pre-exec, 
and can create the logon-script on-the-fly. 
 
But which logon-parameters could be used at the logon. 
 
Do I get the full dn ?
