Deciding which login scripts to create
Maintaining many user login scripts can be time-consuming. Therefore,
include as much customizing information as possible in the container login
scripts, which are fewer in number and easier to maintain.
For example, if all users need access to NetWare utilities in the same
volume, put the search drive mapping to that volume in a single container
login script rather than in every user login script.
Create profile login scripts if there are multiple users with identical login
script needs.
Finally, in user login scripts, include only those individual items that can’t
be included in profile or container login scripts.
Since up to three login scripts can execute whenever a user logs in, conflicts
can occur. If this happens, the last login script to execute (usually the user
login script) overrides any conflicting commands in a previous login script.
Login scripts are properties of objects.
The following table shows which objects can contain login scripts.
The following figure shows how the different types of login scripts can
reside in a Directory tree and how they affect users.
