Please find, for review, the debconf templates and packages descriptions for the libpam-mount source package. This review will last from Sunday, December 16, 2007 to Wednesday, December 26, 2007. Please send reviews as unified diffs (diff -u) against the original files. Comments about your proposed changes will be appreciated. Your review should be sent as an answer to this mail. When appropriate, I will send intermediate requests for review, with "[RFRn]" (n>=2) as a subject tag. When we will reach a consensus, I send a "Last Chance For Comments" mail with "[LCFC]" as a subject tag. Finally, the reviewed templates will be sent to the package maintainer as a bug report, and a mail will be sent to this list with "[BTS]" as a subject tag.

Description: PAM module that can mount volumes for a user session
This package provides a PAM module that 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 such private volumes.
The module also supports mounting home directories using
loopback or dm-crypt encrypted filesystems.
.
- access to each user's own volumes;
- single sign-on features;
- transparent mounting process;
- no stored passwords;
- unmounting at logout, saving system's resources and mandatory for
the use with encrypted filesystems.
.
Libpam-mount is able to mount SMB or NCP volumes as well as any type of
filesystem that can be mounted using the standard mount command.
