[Savannah-hackers] [Savannah] pam-mount want to be a GNU package

[savannah-hackers]

Hi,

The following project was submitted to Savannah. It needs evaluation to
become a GNU package, can you give it a look, please ? 

Submitter: <address@hidden>
Project Full Name:  pam_mount
Project System Name:  pam-mount
License:  lgpl
Approval URL: https://savannah.gnu.org/admin/groupedit.php?group_id=5409
Description: Pam_mount, LGPLed and available for download at

http://www.flyn.org/projects/pam_mount/pam_mount-0.9.6.tar.gz, is a PAM module 
that

can mount volumes for a user session.  The module is aimed at environments

with SMB (Samba or Windows NT) or NCP (Netware or Mars-NWE) servers that Unix

users wish to access transparently. It facilitates access to private volumes

of these types well. The module also supports mounting home directories using

loopback encrypted filesystems. The module was originally written for use on

the GNU/Linux operating system but has since been modified to work on several

flavors of BSD. 



o Every user can access his own volumes 

o The user needs to type the password just once (at login) 

o The mounting process is transparent to the users 

o There is no need to keep the login passwords in any additional file 

o The volumes are unmounted upon logout, so it saves system resources,

   avoiding the need of listing every every possibly useful

   remote volume in /etc/fstab or in an automount/supermount config file.

   This is also necessary for securing encrypted

   filesystems. 



Pam_mount &quot;understands&quot; SMB, NCP, and any type of filesystem that can 
be

mounted using the standard mount command. If someone

has a particular need for a different filesystem, feel free to ask me to

include it and send me patches.
