Hi list,
- I know (well, think) this can be done. - I've got a Wintendo file server that needs to supply the home-dirs of all users of a multiuser SuSE10.2 system. - let's not discus why...it's just so. Sigh.
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cross platform (unix) automatic network disk mounting solution, but in current linux distros it's been pretty much superseded by autofs, a native linux implementation of the same general idea.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.

Thanks for the info, I'm on to it with man pages, info, google and all. I'll try to remember to let the list know of my progres.
