[wpkg-users] Wpkg-client logging issue

This is correct. It enables full debug logging within the log file.

Seems to be correct too. But you have to make sure that even an
unprivileged user has full write access (guest write access) to the
\\whale\netlogon share and in particular the wpkg sub-directory. Usually
users do not have write-access to the "netlogon" share. So I propose
either to use a dedicated share where you allow writing for everybody or
to log to the same server where you sore wpkg.js. The second option is
nice because Windows would use the same credentials to write the log
which it is using to load wpkg.js (credentials configurable within wpkg
client).

For example:
WPKG JS path:
\\server\wpkg\wpkg-server\wpkg.js

log_file_path
\\server\wpkg\wpkg-log

So make sure the share is giving full write access to the "wpkg" share
and the user you configured within WPKG client.
Then you might limit the same user to read-only access on filesystem
level in order to make sure users cannot write to the "wpkg-server"
directory.

Note: It is absoulutely crucial that you give full write access to the
\\server\wpkg\ share because if you give just "read" access it's useless
to give even full permissions on filesystem level.

Right, see above.
