Summary : A PAM module that can mount volumes for a user session
URL : http://pam-mount.sourceforge.net/
License : LGPLv2+ and (LGPLv2 or LGPLv3) and Public Domain
Description : This module is aimed at environments with central file servers that a user
: wishes to mount on login and unmount on logout, such as (semi-)diskless
: stations where many users can logon and where statically mounting the entire
: /home from a server is a security risk, or listing all possible volumes in
: /etc/fstab is not feasible.
:
: * Users can define their own list of volumes without having to change
: (possibly non-writable) global config files.
: * Single sign-on feature - the user needs to type the password just once (at login)
: * Transparent mount process
: * No stored passwords
: * Volumes are unmounted on logout, freeing system resources and not leaving
: data exposed.
:
: The module also supports mounting local filesystems of any kind the normal
: mount utility supports, with extra code to make sure certain volumes are set up
: properly because often they need more than just a mount call, such as
: encrypted volumes. This includes SMB/CIFS, FUSE, dm-crypt and LUKS.
:
: If you intend to use pam_mount to protect volumes on your computer using an
: encrypted filesystem system, please know that there are many other issues you
: need to consider in order to protect your data. For example, you probably want
: to disable or encrypt your swap partition (the cryptoswap can help you do
: this). Do not assume a system is secure without carefully considering
: potential threats.
