Hi Helmut,

i wrote this script:

#!/bin/bash
Login="rw,file_mode=0644,dir_mode=0755,username=zingalo,password=****,noserverino"
smbmount //192.168.5.219/users/zingalo /mnt/samba/Dati

zingalo is user registered on ldap server. in his homeAttribute i wrote 
//192.168.5.219/users/zingalo.
Trying the login on my laptop ubuntu 11.10 (client), black screen for 
few seconds and it comes back to login screen without message.

I've seen syslog file lines during this operation, if you want please 
take a look. I used pastebin because there are many lines:
