Description:
This module is aimed to environments with SMB (Samba or Windows NT)
and/or NCP (Netware or Mars-NWE) servers that Unix users want or need
to access, and some users have / every user has private volumes in
that servers. The module also supports mounting home directories using
loopback encrypted filesystems (see also
http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Loopback-Encrypted-Filesystem-HOWTO.html).
- Every user can access his/her own volumes
- The user needs to type the password just once (at login) (*)
- The mouting process is transparent to the users
- There is no need to keep the login passwords in any additional file
- The volumes are unmount upon logout, so it saves system resources,
avoiding the need of listing every every possibly useful remote volume
in /etc/fstab or in an automount/supermount config file. This is also
necessary for securing encrypted filesystems.
(*) Obviously, the user password in the Unix system and in the remote
servers must be the same ;)
Pam_mount "understands" SMB, NCP, and encrypted loopback volumes, but
this can be extended very easily.
