[Samba] Auto mounting NT shared Home Directories

[Rob Keeling]

I have set up samba 2.2.3a with winbind to join SuSE linux 7.3 machines into our NT 4 domain, but would like to be able to set up Linux thin client machines to allow transparent use of either windows or Linux desktops. To accheve this I need to be able to access our Home directory shares from both systems, the best way for us to go at the moment is to find a way of getting linux to automount the users home directory on logon. All our users have a share on one of three NT servers which coresponds to their username. What I would like to do is find some way of on logon /home/(whatever) is mapped to a smb share of //server/(whatever)$. as we have 1200 user accounts setting this up needs to be rule based!   What is the best way to proceed?   Thanks   Rob Keeling Network Manager Queen Elizabeth`s Grammar School Ashbourne
