pam_unix (the default under RH) and pam_mount work fine for me.  I'll attach 
the log to the bottom.

My employment contract would make it difficult for me to contribute code, 
but I'll be happy to test and document.  I know this seems like a niche 
request, but this is a big thing for pulling Linux into the schools here. If 
we can make this fly, I think we could displace 10% of the M$ desktops in 
the first year.  Our other impediment is some horrificly written, "WINE 
proof" windoze code, but thats another battle.
