here i am

thanks for your reply. this is pam_mount configuration:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<!DOCTYPE pam_mount SYSTEM "pam_mount.conf.xml.dtd">
<!--
        See pam_mount.conf(5) for a description.
-->

<pam_mount>

                <!-- debug should come before everything else,
                since this file is still processed in a single pass
                from top-to-bottom -->

<debug enable="2" />

                <!-- Volume definitions -->
<volume user="%(USER)" fstype="cifs" server="192.168.5.219" 
path="/users/%(USER)" noroot="1" mountpoint="/home/%(USER)" ssh="0" />

                <!-- pam_mount parameters: General tunables -->
<!--luserconf name=".pam_mount.conf.xml" -->



<!-- Note that commenting out mntoptions will give you the defaults.
     You will need to explicitly initialize it with the empty string
     to reset the defaults to nothing. -->
<mntoptions 
allow="nosuid,nodev,loop,encryption,fsck,nonempty,allow_root,allow_other" />
<!--
<mntoptions deny="suid,dev" />
<mntoptions allow="*" />
<mntoptions deny="*" />
-->
<mntoptions require="nosuid,nodev" />

<logout wait="0" hup="0" term="0" kill="0" />


                <!-- pam_mount parameters: Volume-related -->

<mkmountpoint enable="1" remove="true" />
<smbmount> smbmount //192.168.5.219/users/%(USER) /home/%(USER)</smbmount>
<umount> umount /home/%(USER) </umount>


</pam_mount>

it doesn't run.
trying also from the command line:
sudo mount.cifs //192.168.5.219/users /mnt/samba/Dati/ user=**** 
password=****
it asks me a password again. writing the server root password it tells 
No such device or address. Writing a wrong password it tells "Permission 
denied".

Maybe this argument is out of the scope of this ml or maybe not.

Hope someone could help me.

Thanks
