of the  part. We can tackle this in the same 

script that handles the mount problem. We devised such a script to get 

pam_mount working on Red Hat Desktop. The script for the mount command we 

give here (as is) as an example in Example 7 13.

Example 7 13   Script domount to handle problems with pam_mount

#!/bin/sh   x

#

# Script to fix pam_mount.so not getting uid=0 rights

#

# create mountpoint if it does not exist

if [ !  d $4 ]; then

  mkdir $4

  chmod 777 $4

fi

#

# if mount is smbfs and user is domain user substract  DOM+  from the sharename

# this assumes that the winbind separator is  + 

#

if [ $2 = smbfs ]; then

  IFS="/"

  host= echo $3 |awk  {print $1}   

  duser= echo $3 |awk  {print $2}   

  IFS="+"

  nuser= echo $duser |awk  {print $2}  

  if [ "$nuser" = "" ]; then

# if not domain user share than contains no + and nuser will be empty

# restore sharename from original argument 3

    sharename=$3

  else 

# construct a sharename consisting of only username

# shares do not handly + 

    sharename="//$host/$nuser"

  fi

  IFS=" "

  /usr/bin/smbmount $sharename $4 $5 $6 $7 $8 $9

else

# if not smb mount try to perform normal mount

  /usr/bin/mount $1 $2 $3 $4 $5 $6 $7 $8 $9

fi

This script works with pam_mount Version 0.9.18 on Red Hat Desktop 3. The 

script has to be put somewhere in the file system and should be executable and 

setuid root. If the script is called /usr/local/bin/domount ,we do this by executing 

the following commands:

chown root.root /usr/local/bin/domount

chown 4755 /usr/local/bin/domount
