I have many Xbuntu clients they log on to a Active directory network with Likewise. All of these clients could have any of 100 different users log on to them at any time. I need to map the users AD share automatically on the desktop or in GVFS places. I have tried using the gvfs-mount command but it calls for entering the users name and password. I have thought of creating a bash file and using the mount command with the USER global variable but I am not aware of a global variable for the password.

Hallo:

It's a long time I don't use Likewise (I used it with Kubuntu, now I use Centos/Opensuse with Samba).

I think it's possible to use samba and likewise. In that case, if you have a kerberos ticket, shares can be mounted with:

sudo /sbin/mount.cifs //server.domain/share /home/DOM/user1/net/share1 -o sec=krb5i,guest,utf8,setuids,rw,uid=user1,gid="Domain users"

and umount it with:
sudo umount /home/DOM/user1/net/share1

Also can try with (you have to install smb4k):
sudo smb4k_mount //server.domain/share /home/DOM/user1/net/share1 -n -s -t cifs -o krb5i,guest

Nevertheless, I used gvfs-mount and it also worked. So is possible that you have a problem with your configuration or it doesn't work fine with Likewise.

And finally, I'm not sure but, doesn't likewise have commands for mounting samba shares?
