I manage the network for a K-12 small rural school district.  It is
predominantly Win2K.  We are trying to run LTSP for certain labs of
computers that typically use internet and word processing.  All the
students have home directories hosted on a single Win2K server.  

I have Dell workstation that is a few years old that I loaded K12LTSP
version 6 on.  I got it to authenticate users to the ADS domain.  I
installed pam_mount and setup an automatic mount in the Desktop folder
in the linux home folder for each user.  To get the K12LTSP to join the
ADS domain, I had to leave off the ads switch and let it find the best
way to do it.  The ADS domain started years ago in mixed mode.  It is
still running that way, but only has Win2K and Win2K3 servers.

The problem is that when I open the folder on the Desktop, it is empty.
 If I start in a gnome session, I get the Computer Icon and can use the
Network to navigate to the student folder on the Win2K server.  When I
try to open that, it asks for username and password.

How do I get the login authentication to carry on to access the
folders?
