Unfortunately, it looks like I > must stay with IIS :( It might be possible to do this if you mount the NT share with that username in their 'shell', if you set vfs.usermount to 1 (sysctl). I'm not sure how smbfs handles authentication, but i guess it should be possible to use user=$USER and password=`cat ~/.mypasswd` (where ~/.mypasswd is mode 600). Putting such mount instruction in a shell script and setting that as shell is trivial. I don't know how to handle umounting, maybe having a cron script check if a user is still logged on, and umount if the share isn't in use anymore.
