Okay then the script would execute for that user when that user logs in
(student01 etc). then you say you want the script to prompt for the user
name and password for the share. That is what it would do. When it
promnpts for the login it would have to do a look up for the proper
share and then try to mount the share. The process should then spit back
the login dialog box where the user would enter their login and
passowrd.

So I log on as sstudent01. Script executes after the the desktop comes
up and asks me for my login (say jboris). I enter jboris, the script
looks up (maybe a case statement or a grep of a file) and gets the path
(servems:$C:/jbotis). The system mounts the share but gets stops because
of the wrong credentials so it pops up the login/password dialog. Enter
the info andit is mounted. When the user logsout of the desktop the
share would be dropped.

Now I am up to speed of the mount process but I  believe it should do
that.

John:

I asked - the login is anonymous (student01, student02, etc.) and the
student then needs to connect to their own personal shared directory.

Thanks,
Eric

Gnome or KDE what goes on) so the script gets executed and does its
