Do you know how I can acheive this?
I think pam_mount does what you want. It uses the username/password you use to login to the linux box in the smbfs mount command. smbmount could be modified to work with some kind of "ssh-agent" workalike to allow you to give the username/password once and then re-use it for your other mount requests. It wouldn't even have to be a smbmount specific daemon. I don't think any of the smb related pam modules do this (or winbindd or ...) but I haven't really looked. /Urban -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
