[wplug] Samba configuration question

I am in the process of putting an IBM laptop with RedHat 9 on my home 
network to act as an FTP and SSH server, so my roomates and I can access 
files from outside our LAN.  What I want to do is edit a script (not 
sure which one, I'm basically a newbie - maybe the user's login script?) 
to mount the user's windows share when that user logs on.  The name of 
each user's windows box is the same as that user's login name on the 
linux box.  So, my windows box name and my login on the server are both 
"ryan".  What I'm trying to do is basically mount \\<username>\share in 
the user's home directory when he logs in.  Any help on a) which script 
to edit and b) how exactly to edit it would be greatly appreciated.  I 
tried editing the global bash login script but I get "mount: only root 
can do that" errors.

Thanks,

    Ryan
