NTLogon generates logon scripts for Samba in an efficient manner.
NTLogon is a powerful logon script generator that is specifically designed for samba users. One of the key features of this software is its ability to leverage the local username on *nix to get the real name and all the groups the user belongs to. This information is then used to create a customized login script for Windows clients, adding all the network shares that the user can use and specified.
Written in Python, NTLogon is incredibly easy to use. In fact, you don't need to do anything more than add a few lines to your [netlogon] section in the smb.conf file. These lines specify the path to the NTLogon script and other key details about the setup.
One of the key benefits of using NTLogon is its flexibility. This software is designed to work with LDAP or NIS, which allows it to work with a wide variety of different environments. This release has changed from id/groups/finger to id/getent, so it works safely with LDAP or NIS (these commands are LDAP/NIS-aware). Plus, groups can now contain spaces, and usernames can contain underscores, making it even easier to get started with this software.
Overall, NTLogon is an excellent tool that can help you streamline your logon scripts and create a more customized experience for Windows clients. Whether you're a new user or an experienced administrator, this software is definitely worth checking out.
