6.6.4 Other Connection Scripts

After a user successfully makes a connection to any Samba share, you may want the Samba server to execute a program on its side to prepare the share for use. Samba allows scripts to be executed before and after someone connects to a share. You do not need to be using Windows domains to take advantage of the options. Table 6.11 introduces some of the configuration options provided for setting up users.
