Thanks to the users " linux_girl / tuxophil / nullkey " i have now egnough material make this simplifyed howtwo on simple OnLogin mounting of cifs / smbfs with pam_mount.

Just follow the instructions :D
Code:

# mkdir -p /usr/local/portage/sys-libs/
# wget http://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=48486 -O-|tar xzvf - -C/usr/local/portage/sys-libs/
# PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage/"  ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge pam_mount

***WARNING DON'T UPDATE PAM FILE WITH "etc-update" IF YOU ALREADY USE PAM FOR SOMETHING***
***IF YOU DO YOU COULD REMOVE EARLIER PAM_SETTINGS***

(BTW: this is something they sould fix in gentoo with for example ".conf.example" instead of ".conf")


Code:

# nano -wc /etc/pam.d/login

[EDIT] Add uncommented lines and comment out the outcommented lines.
Code:

#auth           include         system-auth
auth            required        pam_stack.so            service=system-auth

auth            optional        pam_mount.so            use_first_pass

#password       include         system-auth
password        required        pam_stack.so            service=system-auth

#session        include         system-auth
session         required        pam_stack.so            service=system-auth

session         optional        pam_mount.so



Code:

# nano -wc /etc/security/pam_mount.conf


[EDIT] Add mounts as follows at the bottom.
Code:

# volume [user] [fstype] [server] [share] [mountpoint] [mountoptions] - -
  volume  me     cifs     myserv   myfold  /mnt/myfold  uid=me,gid=mygrp - -

You can also use * as [user] to automatically get the logged on user.
if * is used you can use & instead of strings to susbstitute string with the username.

***WARNING HAVE BOOT-CD READY BECAUSE IF YOU DO A TYPOO WRONG YOU COULD GET STUCK UNABLE TO LOG IN***

QUIT EVERYTHING AND LOG IN AGAIN :D


And as i said all the credits goes to " linux_girl / tuxophil / nullkey "
i just merged the info....
