Re: running gdm off smb volume

["David Leuser II" <dleuser newhampton org>]

Thank you for replying... It seemed to be a permissions problem  I changed
the way pam_mount handles the permissions to be wide open on the mounted
volume (dmask/fmask = 777) and it worked that way-- but I can't leave it
this way, since it's a terminal system and anyone could access anyone's
files while they are logged in.  Really only the individual user should
have any access to this directory...

Any ideas on what to do?  T.I.A., Dave
