[K12OSN] Is it possible to mount user shares with pam_mount?

[Gideon Romm]

I would put it in a postlogin script, which you could execute either
from:  ....../gdm/PostSession/Default  or   /etc/Xsession.d/

Just have the script create the symlink if its not there.  A one-liner
like:

[ ! -e "$HOME/Windows" ] && ln -s $HOME/.Windows/$USER $HOME/Windows

That way, it'll be done for the kiddies when they log in next.

On, cifs, you should prolly connect with cifs anyway, as you may find
you have problems connecting if you don't.  (Windows keeps a'changin').
Unfortunately, I don't think cifs will allow you to map the child folder
of a share.  :(
