I was wondering how everyone is mounting CIFS file systems from Windows 9x clients? Having worked through the NIS netgroup issue (Bug #19922, patched in 5.3.4R3P2 -- thanks everyone), I'm moving on to getting the new filer working with PCs.
I have a CIFS homedir for each user. The filer shares this directory so that it appears as the user name. In a Windows NT login script, I can use the "%username%" directive to mount the user's home dir as H:. However, you can't use "%username%" with Windows 9x clients.
One option is to set the home directory in the user's environment profile (in User Manager), but this requires changing each user's profile. The logon script is simple and elegant.
I'd really like to mount the CIFS homedir directly, rather than having the user open the drive, then open the folder with their associated username in order to access files in their home directory.
Any hints?
