Re: [PLUG] Samba - user mounting a drive


Looking at my list of services in RedHat 8.0, it looks like "netfs" will automount NFS, SMB, and NCP exported filesystems or shares.

Does the automounter unmount automatically?

How many computers are you dealing with?

Have you tried smbmount to see if it leaves the share mounted?

Not that the automounter is a bad idea. I'm just trying to think of a way to do it in the simplest way with least number of utilities, And I've been thinking of this type of solution.

Paul,

That was my first thought but that means that each user has to have a
separate script on _each_ computer. Also, there is no corresponding
"logout" script so when the user logs out from KDE or Gnome there is no
way to unmount the share.


Ideally there should be a user "startup" and "shutdown" file for KDE or
Gnome so that things like this can be set up.  Anybody know of any?  I
tried Google/Linux and found nothing relevant.

I like the idea of using automount so I'll be experimenting with that.
If we can automount the user's home directory and the shares then so
much the better!
