[K12OSN] Volume Mounting Question

[Joe Korzeniewski]

Thanks Levi, that did the trick. 

Are you using pam_mount with netware? If so, does it authenticate and mount the home directory and / or process the login script? Does it require using a FDN for login or can it detect the context? I did some searching for something that could do all of this but couldn't find anything that suited my needs. I didn't look too deeply at pam_mount though.

I ended up writing a utility for ubuntu to make it easier for the other guys in our dept to switch away from windows. It basically takes a username and pwd and looks up the context and home directory for a user and mounts it. I extended it to mount other shares as well. I converted this over to k12ltsp6 for the students who have their home directories and it works fairly well, but the students have to log in twice (until I set up autologin). http://sourceforge.net/projects/jkmount

Thanks for your help

You could hide the mountpoint. /mnt/.mountpoint That seemed to work for
me, though I just swicthed all my mounts from fstab to pam_mount.
