This isn't exactly Slackware specific, but I've googled a bit just out
of curiousity and haven't found much in the matter of solutions. Here's
the problem. When using roaming profiles, sometimes the profile will
refuse to roam because some temporary internet file has a bad name.
Naturally Windows is too brain-dead to just migrate everything but that
one file, so none of it happens and the user gets a temporary profile.

Now, my solution historically has always been to disable roaming
profiles. But let's suppose for a moment I work for an organization
that wants these things. How could I setup a script to remove those
files everytime the user logs in? I realize I could just call the
script from cron every hour or so, but that wouldn't be much fun.

Is there some way to run say a bash script on the linux box when the
user authenticates, before running the netlogon script and before
attempting to migrate the roaming profile? If so, how is this done?

Wouldn't putting it one of ~/.bashrc or ~/.profile do it? Or do they
run too late in the login process? I assume you've already solved
the problem of which specific temp files need to go. If it's only
temp files, is there such a thing as a logout script?

Of course, what you _really_ need to do is fix or lose the S/W that's
leaving trash lying around on the disk. ;-)

Good Luck,
Rich

Samba logons don't exactly run bash. In fact, they're not a true unix
login. You don't get a shell or anything like that.

Yes well, Windows XP and Internet Explorer aren't things you can just
fix. :^)

Oh - OOpps, silly me. :-)

More's the pity.

Thanks,

Hot damn I believe that will do it! Thanks /dev/rob0. I should have
found that one for myself.

I most likely completely misunderstand your problem, but if it's only the
contents of the Temporary Internet Files that's messing things up, can't
you just configure IE to delete the contents of that file on closure of
the browser. I set this up on my boxes all the time because I hate
leaving all that crap on my box. The option is a check-box on the advanced
tab of the Internet Options. This will leave that file empty unless the
browser is being used. Of course this is done on the clients.

My appologies if this is not the issue.

And that of course is the problem. Leaving reliability of a system up
to the numerous clients is asking for trouble. It's best to fix
problems in one place, the file server, and be done with the entire
issue. This is of course much simpler and more reliable than requiring
each of dozens of clients everywhere to have a setting placed a certain
way, and not changed.
