CIFS Home Directories

Latest response

Has anyone successfully configured a setup where users who login to the system automatically have a CIFS home directory mounted with correct user permissions? Ideally this would occur via kerberos authentication so that no user credentials need to be stored locally. I already have an infrastructure set up where my Linux users authenticate to servers via AD/Kerberos and my CIFS shares also authenticate via AD/Kerberos.

Last time I did it was pre-RHEL 7. At that point in time (RHEL 6), the vendor-supplied versions of the relevant drivers/libs were not up to the task - had to either use third-party tools or use custom (newer) kernel and related subsystems.

Be sure the CIFS supports all POSIX parameters or you will get a weird issues after log in.
