SMB Connection Resolve to AD, Point to User Share
I've got an unusual problem that deals with connecting via SMB under Snow Leopard, to a directory share with over 1,000 users. When I connect to the main directory share, the next level reveals 1,000 users, but I'd like to have the connection identify me as a registered user in AD at the time of authentication into the SMB connection, point to my specifically created share (or username, in this case), then only open that share (my share).

I'll give you an example of the pref script:

sudo cp smb://homebusiness.mine.com.inetloc "/System/Library/User Template/English.lproj/Library/Favorites"

What I don't want, is for any user to authenticate via SMB, and have to filter through 1,000 users to find their specific share. I'd like to write it into a pref script such as I've done above and copy it into terminal, and write the path into the server favorites when a user logs in on any machine.

mount_smbfs

MOUNT_SMBFS(8)						    BSD System Manager's Manual 					    MOUNT_SMBFS(8)

NAME

     mount_smbfs -- mount a shared resource from an SMB file server

SYNOPSIS

     mount_smbfs [-E cs1:cs2] [-I host] [-L locale] [-M crights:srights] [-N] [-O cowner:cgroup/sowner:sgroup] [-R retrycount] [-T timeout]
		 [-U username] [-W workgroup] [-c case] [-d mode] [-f mode] [-g gid] [-n opt] [-u uid] //user@server[:port1[:port2]]/share node

DESCRIPTION

     The mount_smbfs command mounts a share from a remote server using SMB/CIFS protocol.

     The options are as follows:

     -E cs1:cs2
	     Specifies local (cs1) and server's (cs2) character sets.

     -I host
	     Do not use NetBIOS name resolver and connect directly to host, which can be either a valid DNS name or an IP address.

     -L locale
	     Use locale for lower/upper case conversion routines.  Set the locale for case conversion.	By default, mount_smbfs tries to use an
	     environment variable LC_* to determine it.

     -M crights:srights
	     Assign access rights to the newly created connection.

     -N      Do not ask for a password.  At run time, mount_smbfs reads the ~/.nsmbrc file for additional configuration parameters and a password.
	     If no password is found, mount_smbfs prompts for it.

     -O cowner:cgroup/sowner:sgroup
	     Assign owner/group attributes to the newly created connection.

     -R retrycount
	     How many retries should be done before the SMB requester decides to drop the connection.  Default is 4.

     -T timeout
	     Timeout in seconds for each request.  Default is 15.

     -U username
	     Username to authenticate with.

     -W workgroup
	     This option specifies the workgroup to be used in the authentication request.

     -c case
	     Set a case option which affects name representation.  case can be one of the following:

	     Value  Meaning

	     l	    All existing file names are converted to lower case.  Newly created file gets a lower case.

	     u	    All existing file names are converted to upper case.  Newly created file gets an upper case.

     -f mode, -d mode
	     Specify permissions that should be assigned to files and directories.  The values must be specified as octal numbers.  Default value
	     for the file mode is taken from mount point, default value for the directory mode adds execute permission where the file mode gives
	     read permission.

	     Note that these permissions can differ from the rights granted by SMB server.

     -u uid, -g gid
	     User ID and group ID assigned to files.  The default are owner and group IDs from the directory where the volume is mounted.

     //user@server[:port1[:port2]]/share
	     The mount_smbfs command will use server as the NetBIOS name of remote computer, user as the remote user name and share as the
	     resource name on a remote server.	Optional port1 and port2 arguments can be used to override default values of port numbers used by
	     communication protocols.  For SMB over NetBIOS default value for port1 are 139, and port2 are 137.

     node    Path to mount point.

FILES

     ~/.nsmbrc	Keeps static parameters for connections and other information.	See /usr/share/examples/smbfs/dot.nsmbrc for details.

EXAMPLES

     The following example illustrates how to connect to SMB server SAMBA as user GUEST, and mount shares PUBLIC and TMP:

	   mount_smbfs -I samba.mydomain.com //guest@samba/public /smb/public
	   mount_smbfs -I 192.168.20.3 -E koi8-r:cp866 //guest@samba/tmp /smb/tmp

     It is also possible to use fstab(5) for smbfs mounts (the example below doesn't prompt for a password):

	   //guest@samba/public    /smb/public	   smbfs  rw,noauto,-N 0   0
