samba - Jul 2004 - netlogon loop (migrating from 2.2.7 to 3.0.x)

Hi,

I am migrating my aging 2.2.7 samba server to a new machine (Fedora
Core2 + samba 3.0.x) but got stuck in a strange problem.

My users can log in, can mount the shares but only if I remove the
netlogon script.

I can browse the available shares from windows and linux.

I am using the same netlogon script which is similar to the one found
in the documentation.

My smb.conf
 [netlogon]
   comment = netlogon
   path = /home1/netlogon
   guest ok = yes
   writable = no
   share modes = no
   browseable = no

[devel]
        comment = Development
        path = /home1/devel
        valid users = @devel
        write list = @devel @admin
        public = no
        writable = yes
        printable = no
        create mask = 0644
        directory mask = 0755
        force group = devel

Under /home1/netlogon there is a devel.bat with a single line :
net use /yes z: \\grecia\homes

grecia is the name of the machine.

Any ideias ?

For future reference, it is a section in your samba configuration file
not a script. ;-)

Can you be more specific about which documentation?

Every working netlogon I've ever seen looked something like this:
Note that this one works for me and, with the exception that I've
modified the path for you, was found at:
http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/guide/happy.html#ch6-shareconfb

[netlogon]
comment = Network Logon Service
path = /home1/netlogon
guest ok = Yes
locking = No

My understanding is that you can't have a non-writable netlogon although
it *may* be possible to set "guest ok = No".
