Package: libpam-mount (0.18-3)

PAM module that can mount volumes for a user session

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 loopback or dm-crypt encrypted filesystems. 

 o Every user can access his own volumes.
 o The user needs to type the password just once (at login).
 o The mounting process is transparent to the users.
 o There is no need to keep the login passwords in any additional file.
 o The volumes are unmounted upon logout, so it saves system resources,
   avoiding the need of listing every possibly useful remote volume
   in /etc/fstab or in an automount/supermount config file. This
   is also necessary for securing encrypted filesystems.

Libpam-mount "understands" SMB, NCP, and any type of filesystem that can be mounted using the standard mount command. If someone has a particular need for a different filesystem, feel free to ask to include it and send patches.
