Udo I just wanted to ask you a question that I was unsure about. I think it was ichat that pointed out that if you add an entry to fstab then this is a boot mechanism and if users log on as a different users then they have access to the original users home directory?
I guess the method you mentioned at PAM so the previous shouldn't be the case?
My approach using
pam_mount has no fstab entry.
/home is basically empty. The mount points get automatically created when a user logs in for the first time. I have no local users.
(Except the one created during installation time; this
$HOME exists in
/home/user without being disturbed by pam_mount - there are some error messages regarding smbmount failures which I do simply ignore.)
Mounting happens during login-time. Only the specific, single
$HOMEs of currently logged-in users are mounted. Users can not access their neighbors directories due to the usual accress restrictions. Local root can access them though.
It doesn't work on 10.04 LTS clients?
As far as I remember: it did work. But I had problems with logging in on X by
gdm, kdm, lightdm - the login process hang. Sometimes. Logging in at the console did work correctly. I never managed to drill down to the real reason for this one. Actually this bug bites me again now on Oneiric, so this malfunction is not bound to Lucid but to the graphical login mechanism by itself. Currently I do login to the console and then do
startxfce4...
Best regards
