Juan, In the auth section you need to authenticate the user first and if that succeeds then mount their directory. Try this: auth sufficient pam_winbind.so auth required pam_unix.so nullok_secure use_first_pass auth optional pam_mount.so use_first_pass When the user is authenticated either by pam_winbind or pam_unix (note the re-use of the password), then the pam_mount can also re-use the password (The password is only required if the file system is encrypted) to optionally mount the directory. If pam_mount fails for some reason the login will still succeed.

Mounting devices is a property of the session. What should pam_mount authenticate against? Please try and remove the 'auth' entries of pam_mount and try again. Regards Andreas -- Dr.-Ing.
