The setup is a samba server with mixed clients (samba clients and 
windows clients).

The problem,

I want the linux client to mount there home to their home share on the 
server. The problem is, I have followed the guide mentioned below and 
everything works except that the linux usernames have the format 
domeinnaam+username as a result of which pam_mount wants to mount 
\\server\domeinnaam+username which naturally should be 
\\server\username, can you think of a manner to solve this issue or know 
of another way to solve this problem?

I have been at this for a week now and still haven't found a solution, 
big problems because this week I have to deploy the workstations :(
