Urgent Problem, Unix Mapping, Script hangs... TIA

Hi all,
we have a very simple script with kix4.02 running on our domain with W95,98,NT4 and W2k clients. All is good so far, maybe not perfect (for others) but it's working...
One problem we have now is to map to a Samba Share on a Unix machine, using the usual command for mapping a drive:
SHELL "%COMSPEC% /C net use T: /DELETE /YES >> c:\login.log"
SLEEP 1
SHELL "%COMSPEC% /C net use T: \\SERVER\SHARE >> c:\login.log"
SLEEP 1
In a DOS-Box all is working fine, drive is mapped, or it's not mapped with a non permission error (groups don't exist on our NT4 PDC/BDC). So all is fine so far.
When running this map from the server side login script, the script simply hangs, the window stays open, nothing else (errors are hidden from users).
This is because the map to samba when executed from the server side asks for a password which he won't ask when executed from the DOS-Box.
Guess there is a difference in some kind here between the DOS-Box when already logged on and the server side script when not completely logged on.
Anyone experienced a similar problem maybe and is able to give me some help?
Thank you kindly,
Pete

By the way it doesn't matter which and how often i put in a password (yes, the correct one), it won't take it, password question pops up again and again.
Like mentioned, when logged on and mapped then in a DOS-Box or in Windows Explorer, all is fine...
Thx,
Pete

I don't really know that much about connecting to a Samba share, but I would suggest that you change your script to make it readable when it runs (at least for troubleshooting purposes).
I assume you're shelling out to DOS doing a NET USE instead of KiXtart USE because you want the log file? It seems strange to me that you would not have full permissions to the samba share prior to running the logon script. Also, whether or not the script runs from the server shouldn't make much difference (except for speed) because it is still running on the client PC in the account of the user logging on.
I would suggest first making the script visible to test, then adding error checking (@error and @serror) after each line that causes the script to hang. Then we can see a little better what is going on.

Like mentioned, there is no 'error' to say so, it just asks for a password when started serverside automatically from the server as logonscript, but not when i connect to the share in a DOS-Box or the Windows Explorer. 'Hanging' was maybe a bad description for my problem, it must have something to do with the password transaction, but i have no idea what it could be.
Thx for your help,
Pete
P.s: We went out with the shell command because the Kixstart USE command has not worked for us, at least not with all systems ;-)

Thx for all your hints, we removed the 'guest' line, but it still asks for a password :-(
Well, no idea what it could be. I wasn't able to find anything that points to a difference between the DOS-Box and the Loginscript at M$.com but i am still in hope...
Thx again for the help...
Pete

Did not work.. Will create groups now and will explicit map through the groups. Thought i can get around with this because of group replication issues, but...
but again many thx for your kind help,
greetings,
Pete
