He might be asking the same thing i've been thinking about:

A user's home directory is a share off of an NT machine. How, when the
user logs in (preferable) or at boot time can the linux box mount those
shares as the user's home directory?

Of course, he may have something else in mind, but this is something i've
been meaning to ask. I would like it to be able to be done when the user
logs in, but how soon in the login process is the user changed to the 
$HOME directory? The smbmount'ing would have to be done before the use is
placed in their home directory.

(Hoping this is what the other gentleman had in mind.)
