[K12OSN] Samba / W2K login script issue

[Doug Simpson]

Hi Bert!

Try putting the netlogon somewhere besides /home/netlogon. . .
Put it in it's own folder, like /samba/netlogon

And set it browseable = no and don't give users RW, only R.

If you can't see the netlogon share by \\servername\netlogon, see if you 
can see it by ip:  \\10.0.x.x\netlogon

It could just be that your DNS or WINS is not working right.

Send me your smb.conf and I'll look at it if you'd like.
