[Samba] auto-mounting domain shares after logging onto Linux Domain Member
Hello, I'm approaching my goal of emulating an NT Domain Member with a Linux Domain Member...there's just one more slight convenience I'd like to add: When a user logs in on my (Fedora) Linux Domain Member as a member of the domain, I'd like to automatically mount all domain shares (using smbmount) using a script. The only way I know how to do this now is to use a credentials file as an option for smbmount, but I'd like to remove the need for a credentials file and (somehow??) get smbmount to mount the shares using the username/password the user just entered upon logging in. Just as background, the reason why I'd like to do this is to make it easy for the user to find a place on the network to save files (i.e. without the need for a manual call to smbmount every time the user wants to do this). Anyone know if this is possible? Been done? Kevin
