Sorry to reply so far down the thread, I just joined this list. Initial log-in issues. Described in my blog<http://davidmburke.com/2012/04/26/ubuntu-12-04-deployment-with-active-directory/>. In short, first log-in in Ubuntu can fail if networking is not up. My work-around (pingtest) is not ideal because if credentials are cached then it's wasting time. It should be handled by pam. I think the ideal logic should be: - Attempt log in (local, cached credentials, etc) - If failed AND some network auth is present AND networking is not settled: - display a friendly message with cancel button "Waiting for network connection" - wait until networking succeeds or fails in connecting I can reproduce this behavior with many machines at different schools. Folder redirection and friendlier mounts. As discussed<https://lists.launchpad.net/enterprise-ubuntu/msg00077.html>. In short I don't have a reliable way to mount shares if the user logs in without networking (via cached credentials). gvfs has limitations that make it a blocking issue for me. Zentyal is claiming desktop support on their next version. It will be interesting to see how they do it. Best, David Burke
