I’m running Edubuntu 7.1 with Kerbos and Samba.

 

My users logon to the Edubuntu server and are authenticated by our active directory domain.  I want to script their personal user shares so that they are accessible in the network list.  If the user logs on, gets their gnome session and then clicks on Places | “Connect to ServerR21; they are presented an applet that allows them to connect to a windows share by providing only the server name, share, and display name.  Duplicating this functionality from the command line would be perfect.  Can anyone tell what command to use or if a command line syntax even exists?

 

Alternatively, I have researched using smbmount and fstab, but this is not a desirable solution.  Especially when I see gnome provides the exact functionality I need via the gui without the need to retype passwords or have them hard coded anywhere.  I’m assuming there must be a way to script that.

 

Thanks!  Any help is greatly appreciated.
