I have tried to get autofs to work with nfs and cifs as user mounts, I
cannot get these to work and believe me, I really tried ;-)

I cannot get pam_mount to work either, it just tells me there are no
volumes to mount. If I run the mount manually it doesn't work, I run it
again with sudo, it works. I cannot find a way to get pam_mount to use
sudo.

In my opinion 'multiuser' is a possibilty, but again I cannot get it
to work.

I am now considering pam_script, so watch this space ;-)
