Automatically mounting user's home directory

[Chris Tooley]

I got around this by creating a perl script to parse the /etc/passwd
file on my machine and create login scripts for people.  I e-mailed it
to someone on the list and they wrote a wrapper? for smbpasswd that ran
a similar script after doing an smbpasswd -a.  One of the advantages is
that I can create different scripts for different users based on user,
group, or any other section in the passwd file.  Disadvantages are that
I have to manually execute it as root, and it creates a login script for
every user every time it's executed (if you manually edit any, you have
to be careful of this script).
