[RESOLVED] Mounting an SMB network share on Ubuntu during SSH logon process
-
Why not add entries to fstab?
-
Mounting fs requires root privileges afaik. If the user runs bash you could mount using fuse in bashrc. Anyway fstab with proper mount point permissions should fit.
EDIT. Use gvfs
-
FUSE lets you mount in the user space.

On Fedora, I notice all my mounted devices is accessible in
/run/media/username/
Is that a common location for mounted devices per user? -
@black3dynamite yes this is common for -say - usb keys and the so. /run/media is the mount point for removeable devices (even CD/DVD). Recently it is classified on a per-user basis, adding an additional level with /run/media/$usrname

Looks like /run/media is the mount point for ssh too.

what do you mean? ssh is not a device or an fs. what do you mount with ssh?

Mounting a remote file system via ssh using Nautilus.

mmm... never done. what's that? sftp? scp? sshfs? uh...

In Gnome Nautilus, I go to Connect to Server, I then connect using
ssh://1.2.3.4orsftp://1.2.3.4
After that the remote system shows up in /run/media/username -
@black3dynamite so it seems sftp! got it! yes if you mount temporarily as a user you get your stuff in /run/media/$usrname.

Thanks everyone, let me try your suggestions and come back to this thread again soon

It took me a while to revisit this issue though i have managed to address this issue using multiuser SMB mount.
In essence, you would add the mount point to the fstab using the multiuser and ntlmssp options and then you would run
the cifscreds command to authenticate a specific user against the SMB server at the time of login so that that user would be able to see only those sub-folders/files which he/she has access to under the smb mount.
