samba - Mar 2008 - incorporating linux machines in windows network

Hi all,

We have been running samba servers for a few years now. All is running 
very well. Lately we are seeing more and more linux workstations in our 
network. We've always helped them to manually map shares etc, which 
works well. But we are really looking for a way to automatically create 
the necessary drives (mounts) upon logging into the network. (with 
something like a linux equivalent of the windows logon script)

I know of autofs, but (the way I see it now?) this is not scalable nor 
automatically, because it needs to have the username/password to use in 
a file. It can't work as 'the currently logged-in' user. (please
correct
me if I'm wrong!)

So... What you you people here use? Is there a solution for this, other 
than manually configuring each workstation? Or should I use something 
else? NFS?

btw: sles10 servers, samba/openldap, xp / ubuntu workstations.

Regards,
Mourik Jan

Replying to my own question here. I had been searching all over the net, 
but apparently using wrong search terms...

Anyway: Yesterday I found this: http://pam-mount.sourceforge.net/

And it does exactly what I want, and works great.

Have a nice weekend all!
