logging on to samba using windows xp

[benfacer]

Hi, not sure if this is in the right section as i am a serious newbie!
It's more of a windows xp question really but i thouhgt u guys might have tried to do this in the past and might av some answers for me.
Basicly we are logging onto mandrake 10 running the samba server using a windows xp and are having problems with it hanging on the log on script, does anyone know why this is?
Also it loads each users space on the home directory as two drives, (H: which is speciafied in the logon script, and Z: )
Also the folders in these drives have one blue corner on the bottom left with a white arrow on them, does anyone know what this means?
any help would be greatly appriciated as we are really struggling!
Thanks

Ben

Could you post the login script and your smb.conf file?

The little white arrow may just be for offline synchronization, by the way.

[benfacer]

That's what i thought, do you know of any way of compleatly disabling synchronization?

This is the logon.sh file:

#!/bin/sh
user=$1
group=`groups $user | sed "s/.*: //g" | cut -f1 -d' '`
groups=`groups $user | sed -e "s/.*: //g" -e "s/ /,/g"`
machine=$2
server=`hostname | cut -f1 -d.`
domain=`dnsdomainname`
logon=/home/netlogon/$user$machine.bat
sed /usr/local/logon/data/logon.tmpl -e "s/%GROUPS%/$groups/g" -e "s/%USER%/$user/g" -e "s/%GROUP%/$group/g" -e "s/%MACHINE%/$machine/g" -e "s/%SERVER%/$server/g" -e "s/wensleydale.school/$domain/g" > $logon
chown admin $logon
chgrp staff $logon
chmod 755 $logon

This is the logon.pl perl file:
