[K12OSN] mounting windows shares

[dcurtis at sbschools.net]

This link definitely helped lead me into the right direction. I have to
add two lines to the /etc/pam.d/gdm file:
auth       optional    pam_mount.so try_first_pass
session    optional    pam_mount.so

and add the mount option I need into the
/etc/security/pam_mount.conf.xml 
<volume user="*" fstype="cifs" server="servername goes here"
path="Windows share/folder goes here or just share"
mountpoint="~/mnt/mount point name you want"
/>

What I am trying to do now is find if Linux would understand an
environment variable to mount to the Windows Users home folder. 

The reason I would like that is our students are put into a folder based
on year of graduation. 

Thanks,
Dave

Try the last section of this howto:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/ActiveDirectoryIntegration

You may need to translate Ubuntu packages to Fedora ones, but the
principal is the same.
