ubuntu & windows home dir

[Domino]

okay, been trying all day with little success - so I'm throwing in the towel.

 

I've set up a couple of edubuntu (7.10) machines, so the little darlings have in some variation in what they break.

 

I've got the ldap/ad integration working, and everyone's able to log in.

 

However, I can't seem to get the home drives (stored on \\server\home\username$) to map on login.

 

 

I've looked at pam, and also /etc/fstab (but that needs a password to be stored to login to the share, right? storing one for each user would be...timeconsuming)

 

I must be missing something.....

IIRC, edubuntu uses pam_mount. This relies on your Windows file server having user shares. ie,

 

\\servername\username$

we do, I just couldn't seem to get that working...unless I'm double-stupid

You need to have samba working before pam_mount will spring to life.
