Hi,

since pam_mount really was too messy I started writing my own PAM. It's
more or less the necessary parts from mount_smbfs and pam_unix glued
together. I'm not sure if I did everything right (smbfs is not very well
documented, is it?), but after all it works. I'd be glad if someone would
take a look at it and give some advice. The tarball can be found at
<http://mailbox.univie.ac.at/~le/pam_smbmount.tar.gz>.

Beware: it's not even beta, documentation yet non existent, and you have
to edit the source file and change host- and sharename. But I think it's a
beginning.

regards,
le
