Howdy, Clay! Thx much for your message. I did a bit of research, based on your message, about keeping SSH authentication. It seems that libpam-mount 0.15 might be okay with SSH. I had read that anything before 0.10 had issues with SSH.
I'd hate to bring a Server 2003 terminal server into the mix, ie: http://math.univ-lille1.fr/~hafidi/terminal-services/homedirs_on_windows _and_authentication_on_linux.html There's an excellent write-up on the LTSP site here: http://wiki.ltsp.org/twiki/bin/view/Ltsp/WinIntegration I'm half tempted just to look into giving the respective home directories access via a web browser via authentication since this server sits behind our firewall anyway. I've begun working with pam_mount but am not real clear about how it all ties together. You've given me a good start, Clay. Thx again!

And a SAMBA/winbind question... Kory, Well, I've done exactly what you're looking for, and it can be a pain to configure. Also, it "voids the manufacturer's warranty" (seems to have to run in a non-standard configuration that breaks other functionality). Basically, there's a PAM module called pam_mount that allows you to automatically mount shares at login. Works very well for ADS/winbind authentication and home drive mounting. However, in order to make this work, I had to ditch the SSH-based LDM login used by default in Edubuntu and switch to pure XDMCP. There seems to be some kind of problem passing the authentication token from SSH on to the pam_mount. So, at least in my experience thus far, you can either have the SSH logins found in Edubuntu by default (and have the lovely local devices etc. that are in Edgy) or you can have your home drives mounted at login. If I could find a way to do both, that would be just perfect! So, how do you get this working? In short, install the pam_mount (apt-get install libpam-mount) and configure it to mount your appropriate shares. It's fairly simple, but seems to fail when used in combination with SSH. I'd be curious to know if a more recent install fixes this, but last I tested a couple of weeks ago with Edgy, it still had issues. Good luck! ~Clay
