Winbind Unmount Issues

[Will]

I never did get this working.  I attempted to give sudo access to umount
thinking it was a permission issue, but still no luck.  I just couldn't
find evidence of the issue.  It was as if pam_mount was never being
called during the logoff.

My solution was to write a perl script, which I ran as a cron job.  The
script simply monitored what users where logged in and what mounts were
present in their home directories, disconnecting them if no user was
present.

FYI

Well, I'll bet you know more about this than myself, but given it is the
holidays here
and there are probably less users watching the list, I'll make a
suggestion :-)

I am wondering if your line for smbumount is the problem?  The mount
line looks to me
like it mounts with user privileges (not sudo), but the smbumount line
wants to run
sudo.  Is it possible that the umount is run by the logged in user, and
the logged in
user doesn't have sudo privileges, so the umount never runs?

Hope that helps.....but I'm sure you likely have a good reason that the
sudo is running
and I don't know much about pam_mount.
