Hi list,
- I know (well, think) this can be done.

Yeah but... no more pipes, sockets, symlinks, and other nasty surprises for unix users. I would at least go on record to point out the technical problems to the PHB beforehand.
the users are already authenticating against a Wintendo AD, works fine.
I simply forgot how to do...
Do I just (in /etc/fstab) mount or what?
IMHO amd or autofs would be the way to implement that sort of thing.

Thank you for the answer.
may I ask; what's "amd" ?
and in what manner could I use autofs to do this tast with?
I thought I would need to haven en entry in /etc/fstab, something like...:
mount -t smbfs something-here something-here some-options-here...
amd is the "auto mounter daemon" which is a mature cross platform (unix) automatic network disk mounting solution, but in current linux distros it's been pretty much superseded by autofs, a native linux implementation of the same general idea. If you have autofs installed on your linux workstation, there should be some files there, such as /etc/auto.master and others, including auto.home and auto.net which I've found useful. There should also be a file called auto.smb for mounting remote pc-lan shares. Take a look at /etc/auto.smb, as it should provide a good starting point.
