Is there a way to make samba automatically mount a home directory?
That is, a user logging in (from Linux), enters its username and
password(Samba), and the system automatically mounts the user's home
directory from the samba server(without asking the password again).
Has anyone ever tried to do this? And succedeed :-) ?

Nope, but there it will likely involve pam, and the encrypted filesystem @ http://members.home.net/id-est/ would likely have a lot of code to use.

Hi, all!
I'm having some problems automounting Windows shares from my Debian
GNU/Linux system. However, doing it manually with
mount -t smbfs -o username=Johan,password=foobar //nisse/C
/var/autofs/nisse/
works flawless.
I'm totaly new with autofs so I don't know if I'm my setup is right,
but
this is what I've done;
/etc/auto.master:
/var/autofs/nisse /etc/auto.nisse
/etc/auto.nisse:
nisse -fstype=smbfs,username=Johan,password=foobar ://nisse/C
I don't know if it's useful but this is what I see in syslog:
Jan 28 18:17:30 bettan automount[218]: starting automounter version
4.0.0, path = /var/autofs/nisse, maptype = file, mapname /etc/auto.nisse
Jan 28 18:17:30 bettan automount[218]: Map argc = 1
Jan 28 18:17:30 bettan automount[218]: Map argv[0] = /etc/auto.nisse
Jan 28 18:17:30 bettan automount[218]: mount(bind): bind_works = 1
What am I missing here? :)

Your automount setup looks fine to me. I was comparing it to my working one
here and cannot see any difference except I use IP addresses in my target
share names:
[root@medulla /root]# cat /etc/auto.master
# $Id: auto.master,v 1.2 1997/10/06 21:52:03 hpa Exp $
# Sample auto.master file
# Format of this file:
# mountpoint map options
# For details of the format look at autofs(8).
/ukfax /etc/auto.ukfax --timeout=60
/cortex /etc/auto.cortex --timeout=60
[root@medulla /root]# cat /etc/auto.cortex
# $Id: auto.misc,v 1.2 1997/10/06 21:52:04 hpa Exp $
# This is an automounter map and it has the following format
# key [ -mount-options-separated-by-comma ] location
# Details may be found in the autofs(5) manpage
backups -fstype=smbfs,username=medulla,password=medulla
://192.168.5.16/backups
docs -fstype=smbfs,username=medulla,password=medulla
://192.168.5.16/docs
If I then do an 'ls /cortex/docs' the share is automounted and I see the
dir-isting from the NT server. You are triggering the automount by
attempting access on the mount point?
Cheers,
Noel

I'm suspecting that it might have something to do with that the PCMCIA gets reset:ed by cardctl (and then goes active again) after the autofs has been run:ed. But issueing /etc/init.d/autofs stop and then start wont work either. Tell me, what output does '/etc/init.d/autofs status' give you? Mine shows: Configured Mount Points: ------------------------ /usr/sbin/automount --timeout=300 /var/autofs/nisse file /etc/auto.nisse Active Mount Points: -------------------- /usr/sbin/automount --pid-file=/var/run/autofs/_:var_:autofs_:nisse.pid --timeout=300 /var/autofs/nisse file /etc/auto.nisse Gah, this is driving me nuts since it works so nice doing it from the commandline...
