What I need to get working:
A switch so that any domain user logging on will automatically have
home mapped to their share on the win2k server (we have 3 fileservers
for the user accounts).

In an earlier message, Jerry pointed me to pam_mount.so, which I see in
/lib/security, but I don't have any documentation on how to use it, and
so far google hasn't brought any joy either. Can someone help?

This is all quite possible, but we need to do a bit of work to intergrate the components. Currently pam_winbind can't tell pam_mount what server to mount, for example. Also, we have the problem of special files over CIFS - your Win2k server probably will not like attemptes to create symbolic links.

At the very least what we need to do is modify pam_winbind to store a
token containing the homedir location, for pam_mount to pinch.

Ok. Before I start digging into the source I wanted to ask if this is an appropriate question to put to samba-technical. Also, to clarify, when you use the word "we" here, are you referring to you and I, or you and the rest of the intrepid Samba team? While I will happily do what I can, I'm not sure that I'd be much help when it comes to editing much more than a shell script =]

PS: It would be exciting to see this work - unlike what seems to me to be the majority of posters here, my primary interest in Samba is as a client to integrate Linux desktops into existing AD infrastructure (before replacing it entirely, of course;).
