Hi Rowland,

I have tried it in a VM also. Works without any problems. I'm going to 
try it in a decommissioned, 7 year old workstation with completely 
different hardware in a few moments.

Good luck,

Peter

OK, I have got it work with an LMDE6 install, but not with Peter's
'volume' pam_mount.conf.xml setting, I had to use:

<volume fstype="cifs"
        server="cm4nas.samdom.example.com"
        path="users"
        mountpoint="/home/SAMDOM/%(USER)"
        options="user=%(USER),cruid=%(USER),sec=krb5"
/>
