Hi all,
I am using the following in a bash script to mount a users real home directory onto
a LTSP thin client. Seems to work except, if the user is eg "teacher" the owner of
the directory as set by the uid=$1 becomes "Teacher" and prac2 has become PRAC2. Is
there a way to force all these to lower case or make them not case sensitive?
What seems to happen is that if I run this from the thin client logged in as a user
then when I click on 'refresh' on the users home directory window, it closes and
won't open again, in fact most of the icons on the taskbar seem to be disabled eg
'Start Here' doesn't start aything.

Damn. I just realised what it is, it is the case of the user in Windows. Maybe I
need to work out hwo to change the case of all the users in the domain  :-)

sudo mount -t smbfs -o remount,username=$1,password=$2,uid=$1,gid=$1,umask=022
//IP.of.other.server/homes /home/$1
