This may or may not meet your needs - sorry for the wasted bandwidth if it doesn't. We needed a mechanism for our experimental LTSP lab to transparently mount & unmount shares from a Win2000 server at login/logoff awhile back. What we came up with is a set of shell scripts that do this utilizing the capability of gdm to run pre & postsession scripts. Unfortunately, at least at this time, you _do_ have to use gdm as your display manager as I have not found a way to make kdm perform similar functions. This does not tie you to the Gnome desktop - you can still run, KDE, Ice, or whatever - but you have to use gdm to do it. The scripts use two hidden files in your home directory, one to tell the scripts what share to mount where, the other is a credentials file. Putting the credentials in your home directory (hopefully) keeps them more secure as opposed to putting them in fstab which is usually world readable. If you want to give them a spin you can get them at: http://scnc.lsd.k12.mi.us/~mrambo Just follow the linux link.
