Then you need to modify the /etc/security/pam_mount.conf.xml adding following the line

<volume fstype="cifs" server="server" path="%(USER)" mountpoint="~/Documents" options="iocharset=utf8,uid=%(USER),gid=users,dir_mode=0700,file_mode=0600,domain=ADdomain" />

<volume fstype="cifs" server="server" path="Groups" mountpoint="~/Groups" options="iocharset=utf8,uid=%(USER),gid=users,dir_mode=0700,file_mode=0600,domain=ADDomain" />

(:title pam_mount on SLED11:)

pam_mount is a PAM module that allows the system to automatically mount remote file systems when the user logs in, using the username and password provided at login. This is fantastic (as long as all your accounts are syncronised) when used in conjunction with Novell Account Management.

However, since SLED10, the pam_mount system has changed slightly, using an XML document for its configuration rather than the old style text file.

Below is how I configured my system.

First you need to enable pam_mount in the /etc/pam.d files.
