Can someone tell me how to set up a mount to occur automatically on login? I have one directory per user on a Win network and I'd like each user to get his own directory mounted when he logs in. (Automounting on boot is ok, too). This is on Caldera eDesktop 2.4 with Samba 2.0.6. I can find and mount each directory just fine when logged in as root, but smbmount does not do the job when

(you have to enter the interactive startup, say no to the smbmount and say mount -a as root from a console) the
