Name        : pam_mount
Product     : Fedora 19
Version     : 2.14
Release     : 1.fc19
URL         : http://pam-mount.sourceforge.net/
Summary     : A PAM module that can mount volumes for a user session
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.

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, NCP,
davfs2, FUSE, losetup crypto, dm-crypt/cryptsetup and truecrypt.

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.
Don't assume a system is secure without carefully considering
potential threats.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

Enhancements:
- pam_mount: add an "allow_discard" option for volumes to enable
  trim support on the block device without enabling it for the filesystem.
- config: regexes can now be used for the <user> and <group> configuration
  options
Fixes:
- fix "feature 1 already set to zero"
- pmt-ehd: avoid miscalculating blockdev size obtained from BLKGETSIZE64
- pam_mount: give more verbose output on "unknown digest/cipher"
- pam_mount: fix crash when an unknown digest/cipher was specified
- pam_mount: correctly mkdir mountpoint if requested
- pam_mount: only remove mountpoint if actually created
- config: restore DOMAIN_USER and DOMAIN_NAME expansion in mount options
Changes:
- Complain louder when EUID is not 0
- Make CIFS mounts work again after util-linux option parser update.
  util-linux has received updates to its option parser in or around
  v2.22, and pam_mount was incorrectly using the "user" moutn option
  to specify a username; the proper option is, of course, "username".
  (as in: <volume fstype="cifs" ... options="username=someoneelse" />)
- Make Winbind user logins (DOMAIN\user) work with cifs-utils > 5.5
