| Summary: a PAM module that can mount remote volumes for a user session | |
_________________________________________________________________
Table of Contents
This module is aimed at environments with SMB (Samba or Windows NT) or
NCP (Netware or Mars-NWE) servers that Unix users wish to access
transparently. It facilitates access to private volumes of these types
well. The module also supports mounting home directories using
[1]loopback encrypted filesystems.
* Every user can access his 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.
Pam_mount "understands" SMB, NCP, and encrypted loopback volumes, but
this can be extended very easily. If someone has a particular need for
a different filesystem, feel free to ask me to include it and / or
send me patches.
