4.2 Setting Up Login Scripts

When a user successfully logs in to the network, one or more login scripts are executed that
automatically set up the workstation environment. Login scripts are similar to batch files and are
executed by Novell Login. You can use login scripts to map drives to Novell file system volumes
and directories, display messages, set environment variables, and execute programs or menus.
Login scripts were originally created for use with the Novell Client for Windows. However, the
Novell Client for Linux can take advantage of the majority of the functionality available in
Windows. This means that the login scripts you created for Windows workstations can also be used
with Linux workstations without modification, so you need to administer only one set of login
scripts.
Because login scripts are very flexible and dynamic, offer a high degree of customization, and are
cross-platform, you should customize the scripts to optimize workstation login to your network. For
more information on setting up login scripts, see the

• Limiting disk space for each user by specifying the maximum blocks available for each user on
• Specifying the number of simultaneous connections a user can have
• Specifying (by node address) which workstations users can log in on
• Restricting the times when users can log in (you can assign all users the same hours or you can
For specific information on setting these restrictions, see the online help located in Novell iManager.
