Login Script and map command

Hello,
This is the first year we are using NSM wide spread. In the past I would just add a map command to the storage location for the half dozen or so classes using NSM. Now I have close to 80 classes using NSM.
All storage is loaded in the same area, "classroomstorage" each class has it's own subdirectory under this location; Enghish 8, Math 7, and so forth.
If I set a map command to the root directory "classroomstorage" I get and 8804 error. Because the students do not have rights to the root of the directory structure.
Is there anyway to set a single map command? Would appling a read/write trustee assignment and a IRF to the "classroomstorage" directory allow mapping yet not allow everyone to see all the other folders?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
thanks,
Allen

You need to give the teachers rights to the classroom storage via the
policy template and the -owner- methodology provided by NSM, in
conjunction with the owner attribute in eDirectory.
thanks,
NSM Development

Eject DVD script and map to eject key?

Could someone instruct me on how to create an eject script to open my SuperDrive DVD tray and map it to the "Eject" key? I need a powerful programming solution here and I don't mind opening some sensitive system files if necessary.
For some reason my aluminum keyboard "Eject" key will not work and the menu extra (eject.menu) turns blue and freezes. However, dragging a CD/DVD to the trash works fine, disk utility works, itunes works and toast works. OS X 10.5.5/6 does not work.
I'd like to be able to command my DVD drive to open when I need it.
Thanks

Thanks for your help, but I did an archive and install less than a week ago because I had trouble with the 10.5.6 update. All seems fine now except the Media Eject Key. Oh, I also tried a 2nd Aluminum keyboard from a new iMac, and I tried an older white keyboard from a G5 iMac.
This is becoming very weird. Nothing seems to be working. Even eject.menu (menu extras) only works a couple times and then turns solid blue and freezes. I have repaired permissions many times and between every updater and restart along the update path back to 10.5.6. No abnormal problems detected. Also ran DiskWarrior from another hard drive. Oh... and started up from a second drive with 10.5.5 and still will not open!
I have even reflashed my DVR-115D back to 1.18 as normal (down from 1.22) and that didn't help either. I know it's not the drive because all other programs and terminal can open it no problem.
Only thing left is a firmware issue or keyboard interface coding. Anyway to force the keyboard firmware 1.0 to re-update? I tried to rerun it but it says already updated.
Maybe if I zap the Pram??????? Haven't tried that yet.

Login script not mapping drives for users

I am in the process of configuring a new Windows 2008 terminal server in an existing Windows 2003 domain. The TS is installed on a member server running Windows Server 2008 SP2. The problem is that the domain login script (set in group policy) does not seem to be working for the users.
I have a special TS group policy for the new terminal server and have enabled loopback processing on the default domain policy. The only setting configured in the TS policy is the location of the user's terminal server roaming profile. This seems to be working. Other than the login script, other elements of the domain-level group policy, such as folder redirection, seem to be working. When I run the GP result tool on the terminal server, it shows all of the appropriate group policies from both the TS policy and the domain-level policy, including the login script. This login script is vital, since it does drive mapping for a bunch of resources on the domain that users need to run certain programs. The odd thing is that the login script runs for the Administrator account, which uses a separate group policy that has inheritance blocked.
Any help would be appreciated!

I realize this is old, but for anyone who comes here after me, here goes. What i found, is that instead of running a vbs script to map the drives, i run a vbs script to get the parameters i need, then i run a batch file from the vbs and pass it the
parameters. For some reason, when the logon script is run as a batch file, all of the drives map, even for users who are local admins. It seems to run in the users current context, unlike a vbs script. Here is an example :
' maps a shared documents folder "S:/" to the same folder as the OU that the user is in.
Set objSysInfo = CreateObject("ADSystemInfo")
strUser = objSysInfo.UserName
Set objUser = GetObject("LDAP://" & strUser)
strUserName = objUser.samAccountName
strOUPath = objUser.Parent
arrContainers = Split(strOUPath, ",")
arrOU = Split(arrContainers(0), "=")
strOU = arrOU(1)
Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
objShell.Run "\\domainname\NETLOGON\Login.bat """ & strOU & """", , TRUE
And the batch file takes the parameters like so :
:: Initialize variables
set parentOU=%~1
:: Delete all known shares
net use s: /delete
:: Map all known shares
net use S: "\\domainname\mainshare\%parentOU%" /persistent:yes
Make sure to use quotes around the variable in the vbs file, or your batch file will see it as two parameters. Then make sure to use %~1 as the variable in the batch file to remove the quotes from the parameter that is passed.

Launching NAL from login script AND startup?

We are about to upgrade from Zen 3.2 to 7. Part of the process involves ensuring the clients launch NAL with a /NOUPDATE switch. (The NOUPDATE switch must be used to ensure that Zen 7 agents are not accidentally back-rev'ed during the upgrade process.) We currently have deployed the script-based method to launch the 3.2 NAL, but still have many desktops that either launch with a batch file or through the Startup group. (Too many to visit on a timely basis)
I want to know if subsequent launches of NAL.exe WITHOUT the /NOUPDATE switch override the settings of the original one launched in the script. If launching NAL from Startup without switches doesn't override the one in the login script, I won't need to worry about hitting each of these machines before we begin deploying the Zen 7 Agent.
Does anyone know if NAL refuses to launch again if it already is detected in memory?

Off the top of my head, I dont know the answers to your question, but
when I went through this process I just moved and renamed all the NAL
related files from the PUBLIC dirs so the ZEN7 Agent could not become
back dated.
The existing 3.2 agents kept running from the local PC like always and
after the PC was upgraded to ZFD7 there were no files in PUBLIC from
which the PC could accidentally get old files.

Expect script and show command capture problem.

Hello everyone.
I want to capture the output of 'show interface status' to text files for our +600 switches. Unfortunately, we have many old 2924's and other models running code prior to 12.0(21) that cannot support 'show command | redirect tftp....' My hope was to use this command set and run it in an Expect script to capture this information on a daily basis. Running the 'show interface status' in an Expect script is pretty easy, but I cannot see how to capture the show command output to a file for transfer to a server. Has anyone else faced this problem and found a solution?
Thanks,

To write the "show" commands output to a text file in Expect/Tcl:
set filename "/path/to/output.file"
exp_send "show running\r"
set var $expect_out(buffer);
set fid [open ${filname} w+]
put $fid $var
close ${fid}
Large "show" output can often exceed the default size of $expect_out(buffer) however. This can be tuned accordingly:

Communication between DTrace script and other commands

Hello,
Let's say you have a DTrace script running all time on your system. It monitors something ( some parameters, system calls, etc..).
If some condition is met (threshold exceeded for example) you would like a script / command to be called.
One way to do it would be: pipe the DTrace output to a "controller" script which checks it's input for some patterns (commands). The script could run appropriate commands when a pattern is found in input.
Is there any other more elegant/appropriate way ?
Thank you,
Vlad Grama.

First of all, from Alan's post :
"You may want to be a bit careful about how you hand out those privileges, as you probably don't want users calling things like panic()."
Even with PRIV_DTRACE_KERNEL, a user cannot make destructive action calls that would require the '-w' command line option. But, they do have good visibility inside the kernel which may not necessarily be a good thing.
Secondly, from Vlad:
"You may go to a site and see some useful D scripts that would require PRIV_DTRACE_KERNEL.
You want to be sure that however bad the script content may be (willingly or not) you can run it on a production system without having to fear anything. "
I find it hard to believe that anyone will run completely untrusted content downloaded from a random site on the Internet on a production machine without testing or validating it first. If so, then DTrace is by far the least of your concerns. Granted, there could be times when a script looks like it may help you solve a problem, but D is so straightforward that even a quick glance will tell you if anything bad could happen (especially given that D already provides quite a bit protection for you by preventing accidental badness).
That being said, perhaps system() could get some sort of special treatment in a D stability report. It seems like a reasonable place for it since if you call system(), DTrace has no way to validate that the targer executable exists, is runnable, and is stable for the current platform. So perhaps, if system() (and eventually some sort of similar interfaces) exist in a D script, then a stability report will flag their use for you - this saves having to grep or similar. Also, then you could execute "untrusted" D with the appropriate '-x' flag to prevent their use all together. Seems appropriate to me (consider it a formal RFE).
So as D scripts become more popular to the rest of the world, I assume we will see some digital signatures showing up for posted recipes. You always check the signature of Apache when you download it so a quick check when you get a new cookbook seems reasonable.
Thanks,
Jarod

Login scripts not running with AnyConnect NAM and ISE 1.2

I am using AnyConnect 3.1 NAM as my 802.1x supplicant for ISE 1.2. When users log in with EAP Chaining (User and Machine Auth), the login script seems hit or miss on if it runs to map their drives. If I uninstall the NAM client, they map drives every time. I would think that running a login script to map drives is a common scenario and I was wondering if anyone else using AnyConnect NAM was having similar issues or how they were dealing with it.

I have the same issue and I solve the issue with change these parameters.
1.- You must change on configuration profile "before user logon". I have 5 seconds
2.- You must change on configuration profile "port authentication Exception policy" and you must enable checkbox "enable port exceptions" and select "allow data traffic before authentication"
3.- You must enable in the option of interface Ethernet Intel on PC "Wait for link" this option It's in "configured advanced of Intel. You must select "on" in this option.
4.- (this recommendation it was by Cisco)
Active Direct GPO has a setting "Computer Configuration\Administrative
Templates\System\Logon\ Always wait for the network at computer startup and logon" that
can be enabled to make the logon scripts wait till 802.1x authentication is completed.
With those changes the logon script run fine.
Regards
David.

POST request in a login script

I have a strange problem when the variables that are passed to a PHP script dont get recognized in an equal statement. The java code :
tring value, value2;
     try {
     BufferedReader stdin = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
     URL url = new URL("................./admin.php");
     URLConnection connection = url.openConnection();
     connection.setDoOutput(true);
     System.out.println("Enter your username");
     value = stdin.readLine();
     value = URLEncoder.encode(value, "UTF-8");
     System.out.println("Enter your password");
     value2 = stdin.readLine();
     value2 = URLEncoder.encode(value2, "UTF-8");
     System.out.println("Acessing the ECHO server script");
     PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(connection.getOutputStream());
     out.println("username="+ value);
     out.println("&password="+value2);
     out.close();
     BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(connection.getInputStream()));
     String inputLine;
     System.out.println("Retrieving data");
     System.out.println("");
     while ((inputLine = in.readLine()) != null)
         System.out.println(inputLine);
     System.out.println("");
     in.close();
     catch (Exception e)
     System.out.println("Error: "+e);
     System.out.println("Processing Acomplished");In case somebody wonders, this is part of the php script
if (isset($_POST['username']) && isset($_POST['password']))
$username = $_POST['username'];
$password = $_POST['password'];
echo $username;
echo $password;
if ( $username == "1" && $password == "2" )
echo "CORRECT";
else
echo "INCORRECT";
}Now, the script successfuly recieved my data, and prints it back. However, whenever i try to check if the value is "1", for example, it always evaluates to FALSE. I am completely lost, because the script print back 1, and then says that 1 != 1
I know it looks like script problem, but im almost sure that its not.
Maybe the data that java post's is encoded differently or something, and the script cant really "interpret" it. Did anyone else encounter any problems with login scripts and java ?
Sorry if this is a lame question, i'm just beginning....

I know it looks like script problem, but im almost sure that its not.I'm almost sure it is. Check that it's not comparing the string "1" to the integer 1 or something. But the way you present it the problem is almost certainly in the PHP rather than the Java.

Adpatch: Error running SQL and EXEC commands in parallel

MEMBER OF command in login script

Hello,
Just wondering if any one else has had trouble getting the MEMBER OF command to work in their login script? I have tried using group names as well as the full context but I can't get it to work and perform the desired actions.
Thanks.

Login Manager and running .xinitrc commands

Evenin' geezers,
Just a quick one - I'm gonna do a bit more digging around, probably find something, but:
If I want to run, say, Enlightenment, I can stick it in .xinitrc. Then, if I want to run adesklets with it, I can stick that in .xinitrc as well. But, if I want to run some other environments as well, and I use a login manager, how can I get adesklets to load? It doesn't run the .xinitrc script anymore.
So,
a) is there a place to put login scripts that start adesklets regardless off what environment I use?
b) if not, is there somewhere to make the login manager call adesklets somehow?
I'm sure it can't be too complicated, but I can't get it quite right.
Cheers,
Thom

From KDE FAQ:
How do I run a program at KDE startup?
There are many ways to do that. If what you want to do is to run some scripts that would set some environment variables (for example, to start gpg-agent, ssh-agent and others), you can put these scripts into $KDEHOME/env/ and make sure their names end in .sh. $KDEHOME is usually a folder named .kde (note the period at the beginning) in your home folder. If you want scripts to be executed for all KDE users, you can put them under $KDEDIR/env/, where $KDEDIR is the prefix KDE was installed to (you can find this out using the command kde-config --prefix).
If you wish to start a program after KDE has started, you may want to use the Autostart folder. To add entries to the Autostart folder:
1. Open Konqueror.
2. Select Go->Autostart from the menubar.
3. Right-click in the window view area and select Create New->File->Link to Application
4. Click on the Application tab in the window that appears and enter the name of the command to run in the Command text box.

Novell Client and Login Scripts?

All:
I'm a former administrator of NetWare 3.x, 4.x and 5.x systems and am
intrigued by the NLSBS 9 offering. I have downloaded the trial version
and have installed it on a test server.
Since I am "old school", I was wondering if I could use the Novell Client
for Windows XP and login scripts to automatically map shares using groups
like I did back in the day.
I'm very new to the Novell/Linux world since every organization I've
worked for in the past 10 years abandoned NetWare for Windows. I'm sure
a LOT has changed since the Linux OS was brought on board, so I thought
I'd ask.
Thanks,
Greg

Not sure. It would depend on whether Novell is still offering a product upgrade to the OWS from Windows 2000 SBS and what that price looks like. Otherwise, I was more thinking about the software side itself, re: the Linux side. Either way will work. Just work out the figures.
>>> <[email protected]> 5/23/2006 5:02 am >>>
I guess I'm looking at it this way: If I purchase the 5-user upgrade
license of NLSBS for $211.00 which includes upgrade protection, then
according to Novell, I can upgrade to OWS for free after July 31st. A 1-
user license for OWS at CDW is about $125.00. $125.00 x 5 = $625.00.
Is my logic flawed?

Creating a new OU and the login scripts don't work

Goodday,
We are running DSfW for almost a year and we never had to make a new OU but that time has come.
When I make a new OU (with iManager or AD tools) the outcome is the same: The login scripts I make for the new OU will not execute within iManager.
If I make a new (test)user of move an existing user (with or without a GW account) the login script is not executed.
If I place a login script directly on the user it works.
I've patched everything and is up-to-date.
What is different on exisiting OU's and new OU's is that it's missing two attributes:
ACL 2#entry#ou=...#loginScript
ACL 2#entry#ou=...#printJobConfiguration
Maybe this has nothing to do with it but the first one I was thinking maybe this is the problem.

Can you please give the details of how you are specifying the login script. Is it using a GPO?

Is it by specifying the script path in existing profile tab?

Can you check if the container is samified, and samify it if it is not.

May not work, but can be tried.

Bash script "open terminal and launch command

I need a script to do this:
launch a terminal, from this change working directory and then launch a command; the terminal have to remain opened after the command execution.
Something like:

cd $dir && $command
it works
If I do a .sh script with this:
xterm -hold -e cd $dir && $command

terminal -H -x cd $dir && $command
when I launch it (the script) it doesn't work.

works too.
I don't know what $command do you mean, but this will list th ~/test directory.
It works also for me.
With urxvt and xfce4-terminal don't work.
But xterm is too minimalist, is there an advanced terminal based on it?
And I don't unerstand why it doesn't work for xfce4-terminal but for it does for xterm...
man xfce4-terminal:
-H, --hold
Causes the terminal to be kept around after the child command has terminated
-e, --command=command
Execute command inside the terminal
man xterm:
-hold
Turn on the hold resource, i.e., xterm will not immediately destroy its window when the shell command completes. It will wait until you use the window manager to destroy/kill the window, or if you use the menu entries that send a signal, e.g., HUP or KILL.
-e program [ arguments ... ]
This option specifies the program (and its command line arguments) to be run in the xterm window. It also sets the window title and icon name to be the basename of the program being executed if neither -T nor -n are given on the command line. This must be the last option on the command line.
What the ...?
Is only my opinion that there aren't differences between:
terminal -H -e "cd $dir && $command"
and
xterm -hold -e "cd $dir && $command"
