I'm trying to use winbind to allow students that have accounts on a Windows domain controller to login with their domain accounts to the Linux boxes. I have successfully set up Winbind to allow logins, but I'd like to set it up so that some sort of login script gets called so that when a user successfully logs in on a Linux box with their domain account, their H: drive is set up along with their printer.

The problem is that one has to be root to mount a samba drive from what I have seen. Does any one have a solution for this? I'd be open to ideas, too.

Thanks!

I had this running at work for a bit during testing before deciding it wasn't going to be rolled out. instead, we simply use the winbind authentication for squid. but, i followed the howto from http://faculty.acu.edu/~westk/winbind.html . within the smb.conf you can set which home drive and printer mappings you wish to apply. was a pain following through setting up PAM, but it worked okay and i was able to login and have printers + drives correctly mapped across.

Thanks for the tip, but I don't see anything on that page that says how to mount home directories. The section on mounting home directories is blank. Any other tips?
