pam_mount and openssh

[Chris Jensen]

Hi,
I'm trying to get pam_mount going to mount a samba share on login over
openssh, but it doesn't seem to be working.

It seems that after authentication, openssh  is launching a new
process which calls pam_open_session, and so the pam_mount module
can't access the data it stored when authenticating.

Has anyone else hit this problem and successfully worked around it?

Here's the debug output (I threw some of my own debug statements into the code)
