Worked like charm.  Thanks a lot.

With that problem resolved, I come to my next roadblock.  I want to set up my login scripts to mount a folder (let's call it 'share') from the user's 		PC (NT Computer names match each user's server login name, so my login is 'ryan' and my PC is also called 'ryan' on the network).  This is easy as 		root, I just say:

	'mount -t smbfs /<local IP of windows PC>/share /home/<username>/share/'

But how do I set this up to mount each user's share when that specific user logs on?  I tried editing /etc/profile with a similar line as above, but 		when I ssh into the box with my login I get "only root can do that" errors.  Is there any way to allow users to mount certain shares?  I'm sure this 		isn't as difficult as I'm making it, I have used samba only sparingly and have very little experience editing config files, etc.  Any help would be 		awesome.  Thanks in advance.
