I'm trying to get some samba shares to be mounted when I log in to my laptop (eg. $HOME/Documents, $HOME/Music, etc). I'd like this to happen automatically and not require me to enter any user name or password (my username and password are the same on the laptop as the samba server). The laptop has wireless which is currently managed with NetworkManager. I've tried pam_mount, but that does not seem to work to well since the connection to the wireless network is not started until well after I've logged in (if I start a new session, the shares get mounted). automount is another option, but it seems that I need to store the username and password in plaintext and it means its something more I need to manage (I'd rather the whole username/password come from the authentication process). I'm also not the only user on this computer, though I do use it the most so any solution needs to be applicable to all users.

Is there a way I can do what I want to do? Is there something I'm missing in either pam_mount or automount or is there something else?

You might give fuse - fusesmb in your case - a try. Please report back to the list if it works and doesn't require to authenticate again and again. In theory this should be kerberized. Lars -- Lars Müller [ˈlaː(r)z ˈmʏlɐ] Samba Team SUSE Linux, Maxfeldstraße 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany
