Can anyone tell me how to configure Suse 8 to mount a home directory from an NT server? I have configured Samba 2.2.7a with winbind support, and can log into the machine as a NT user, but I need to be able to mount the users home directory. The home dirs are all of the form //server/username$ but there are a large number! I have looked at pam_mount but can`t make it work. Any suggestions? With thanks from a desperate man!

I usually make a [homes] share something like this: [homes] comment = Home Directories browseable = no read only = no create mask = 0770 directory mask = 0770 This will create a share for each user. The home directory is automatically the same as the *NIX account home directory. Then, I usually use some thing like "net use u: /home" in my login script. Hope this helps.

Looks like I may have been vague with the question. Rather than mounting the Unix home dir on a windows machine I need to intergrate a linux system into an existing NT domain so need to mount the home directory from our NT 4 server on a linux box. Any ideas how to do this?
