I don't know if there is a way to mount a share at login like that or not. However, there's a tutorial to permanently mount windows shares with samba that I wrote out on the ubuntu help site. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountWindowsSharesPermanently
However, this requires root access. What may work, is if you have a share in the Windows server that has all the users in it, you could permanently mount that. Then make a link in each user directory on your edubuntu machine back to their directory within the mount. The problem here would be that they would also have access to everyone else's files. I don't know if there is a solution to that, it could get very complicated.

And a SAMBA/winbind question... Howdy all. I was able to successfully install and add our first thin-client to our Edubuntu server. I performed many a happy dance for most of our students to see. Can't imagine why they were making fun of me. I was also able to successfully use everyone's Active Directory usernames and passwords to authenticate into the Edubuntu server. I'm extremely impressed and thankful for the efforts put into the Ubuntu/Edubuntu documentation. I hope I can someday return the favor. Here's my question. Because I have winbind and SAMBA running, I can successfully log into our Windows 2003 Server-based file server where all of our faculty/staff and students documents are stored. I'd like to know, however, if there's a way I can automate this process and have everyone's "H: drives" (the names of their respective directories on the file server) available on the Edubuntu desktops upon logging in. On the Windows side, these drives are automatically mapped to their respective usernames via a script I'm using. I'm wondering if it's possible to do the same thing on the Edubuntu side. I've spent a couple of hours researching this and haven't found anything so far. Curious to find out if anyone else is doing this and, if so, how you set it up. Thx much, in advance, for any assistance anyone might offer. My continued hats-off to the Edubuntu team!!
