W. Michael Petullo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> described the package as follows: License: lgpl Other License: Package: pam_mount System name: pam-mount Type: GNU Description: Pam_mount, LGPLed and available for download at http://www.flyn.org/projects/pam_mount/download.html, is a PAM module that can mount volumes for a user session. The module is aimed at environments with SMB (Samba or Windows NT) or NCP (Netware or Mars-NWE) servers that Unix users wish to access transparently. It facilitates access to private volumes of these types well. The module also supports mounting home directories using loopback encrypted filesystems. The module was originally written for use on the Linux operating system but has since been modified to work on several flavors of BSD. o Every user can access his own volumes o The user needs to type the password just once (at login) o The mounting process is transparent to the users o There is no need to keep the login passwords in any additional file o The volumes are unmounted upon logout, so it saves system resources, avoiding the need of listing every every possibly useful remote volume in /etc/fstab or in an automount/supermount config file. This is also necessary for securing encrypted filesystems. Pam_mount "understands" SMB, NCP, and any type of filesystem that can be mounted using the standard mount command. If someone has a particular need for a different filesystem, feel free to ask me to include it and send me patches. Other Software Required: Pam_mount requires a PAM system such as Linux-PAM or OpenPAM.
