[K12OSN] samba drives/home folder and MS Vista probs

[Huck]

in my /etc/samba/smb.conf file I have the following share:

# Un-comment the following and create the netlogon directory for Domain 
Logons
# HUCK
  [netlogon]
    comment = Network Logon Service
    path = /usr/local/samba/lib/netlogon
    guest ok = yes
    writable = no
    share modes = no


notice the 'path = /usr/local/samba/lib/netlogon'

THIS is where your 'startup.bat' file should be
then put:

net use m: \\ltspserver\<sharename>  in your startup.bat file
then run:
unix2dos startup.bat
then run:
service smb restart


--Huck
