AFAIK, autofs (with no external help) has no access to the user's password or other credentials used to establish the session, and cannot use them to mount the remote fs. Moreover, pam_mount can assure...to some level...the remote fs is available during interactive sessions only. This is a somewhat questionable feature but it can increase the system's resistance against attacks. --Pavel Kankovsky aka Peak [ Boycott Microsoft--http://www.vcnet.com/bms ] "Resistance is futile.
