Hi all, I am one step away from a wholesale distribution of older machines back onto our network as Linux workstations - some as thin clients some as full blown clients.
My one remaining problem is how to allow a user to mount their home directory from another server back onto the local system - or is there another way they can get access to their home drive? The home drives are on a server and shared with Samba, I was hoping to have a script on the desktop that would run and mount the drive for them after they login. The users do NOT exist on the workstation they are being authenticated via winbind from an NT server. A skeleton home directory is created for them on first login, I would like to map their real home directory to that directory. 1. Mount works for root, but can't be used by an ordinary user. 2. Smbmount doesn't seem to work unles used within mount (-t smbfs) See 1 I don't seem to be able to get my head around this at the moment, been staring at it too long and can't think of alternatives (can't see the forest for the trees!). Any help or suggestions appreciated. ____________________ Simon Bryan IT Manager OLMC Parramatta -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
