Description: a PAM module that can mount volumes for a user session
 This module is aimed at environments with SMB (Samba or Windows NT) 
 or NCP (Netware or Mars-NWE) servers that Unix users wish to access 
 transparently. It facilitates access to private volumes of these types 
 well. The module also supports mounting home directories using 
 loopback encrypted filesystems.

 o Every user can access his own volumes

 o The user needs to type the password just once (at login)

 o The mouting process is transparent to the users

 o There is no need to keep the login passwords in any additional file

 o The volumes are unmounted upon logout, so it saves system resources, 
 avoiding the need of listing every every possibly useful remote 
 volume in /etc/fstab or in an automount/supermount config file. This 
 is also necessary for securing encrypted filesystems.

 Pam_mount "understands" SMB, NCP, and any type of filesystem that can 
 be mounted using the standard mount command. If someone has a 
 particular need for a different filesystem, feel free to ask me to 
 include it and send me patches.
