Hello everybody,

I wrote a simple Linux-PAM module named pam_cifs which is of special interest 
to all linux-cifs-client users:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/pam-cifs

pam_cifs is responsible for mounting cifs-shares on login of users to the 
system. It is really usefull in combination with pam_ldap and nss_ldap. The 
unmounting of cifs-shares is done via a little daemon, to ensure, that the 
filesystem isn't in use anymore.

This is a very (!) early state of this project, but it works. Compared to 
pam_mount this module is much, much simpler and has a different architecture 
and its limitations.

Kind regards,

Wilhelm Meier
