Hi list, How would I go about mounting samba home directories from a Windows file share after a user authenticates with winbind? Here's my situation: I have a lab of 25 Linux boxes that currently use their own system for authentication on a campus that uses Windows Domain Controllers for student logins everywhere else. I have successfully set up domain logins using winbind on the Linux clients, but now the students need access to their H: drives for class work and sharing files between windows and linux sides. So far, every windows/Linux single-sign-on HOWTO I've seen has done an excellent job at describing how to set up winbind auth, but then they stop short at mounting home directories and print shares, both of which I would like to have. Any tips? Thanks, Ian

Sounds like you're suggesting mounting the share as an exported /home with NFS, right? How are permissions handled then? Will user WINDOWS-DOMAIN\userA on LinuxBoxA have the same UID/GID as on LinuxBoxB?
