libpam_mount
 

Hello,

Im using this fine piece of software for my mounts.
Works like a charm but when i dont want the folder unmounted after logging off. Because im running certain jobs wich require the mount.
i looked in the pam_mount.conf.xml but cant find it.
Anyone who can help me disabling the umount process after logoff?

thx

I wonder if running the apps from 'screen' could help make PAM believe the user is still logged in?..

pam_mount umount problem
 

too bad, that didnt work.
Got some problems now..
when i open a new shell and connect tru ssh to box it just mounts everything fine. When i close the shell everything gets unmounted.
so far so good. Now when some user is logged in and he does su <user> it still mounts the correct dirs for that users. but on log off nothing gets umnounted, here is the log:

As u can see it requires root to umount all of a sudden, no clue why.
anyone can help me with that?

Second problem: when i try logging in with a public key (NXClient/server it also doesnt work on login, is that fixable?

I get the conv->conv(...): Conversation error when using NXclient to login.

Any help will be appriciated
thx!

Bummer. There's pam_script that could possibly perform mounts on user login and might be persuaded to refrain from umounting if fuser/lsof shows there's still files open on logout?


Since you said it works like a charm you probably changed something. Change it back.

I didnt change anyhting.. it never worked. looks like its a bug in pam_mount

I'm confused. In your OP you stated "Works like a charm".

I am sorry, im mixing up 2 different problems.
First i was talking about th umount wich aint working. but thats ok now.

Second problem is about the public key in combination with pam_mount wich it doesnt read and i get conversation errors. That follows in no mounts at startup..

OK, NP.


It could help others if you at least post what was wrong with it. Bonus points for posting how you fixed it.
