I am putting a linux workstation in for one of my clients who has a
samba server. I think I am pretty good to go except one sticking point I
am hoping someone here could help me with.

The workstation will be logged into by multiple accounts. I want to
write a script that will mount the servers samba shares under their home
directory somewhere when they login, for example their "home" directory
on the server. Of course I could set all the shares up in fstab make
them usermountable and do all that stuff, however I dont want to have to
do anything on the machine at all if a new users logs into the station.
It would be time prohibitive.

or perhaps samba is not really the way to go in this instance and rather
nfs or something.  However the issue is management, I want to write a
script, perhaps added to /etc/profile, or something that mounts this
stuff, I do not want to have to do anything to this workstation if I add
a new user to the server. Having nfs mount their whole /home/username
from the server wouldent be a bad idea either, is their a way as root to
auto mount a users nfs home when they login?

fyi: I am using ldap as a network wide authentication scheme, therefore
when I "add a user to the server" the workstations will check this first
for their authentication as well.  glory of PAM  :)

Any suggestions?
