Not sure if this solution work for us:

- We use pam_mount to handle not only user home, but other user/group
dependent directories (some of then my mean of cifs-mount)

- For security reasons we don't want to share the entire nasserver:/home
directory, just mount on-demand userhome on each fat_client

- There is a collateral problem in server: sshd limits the number of
simultaneous incoming connections by mean of "MaxStartUps" configuration
variable. When 30+ students try to simultaneous login into fatclients,
ltsp server refuses more ssh connection for authentication
