+3Hi all,
We are running a mount script on login that mounts a users desktop and documents to an smb share on the server. Prior to mountain lion this worked with no issues at all. Now I am getting an authentication error when the script runs. Did casper change anything with the update to 8.6 or is it something in OS X. We are using the $3 to call the username in the script, and I feel that this may be the problem...
+3*UPDATE*
After working on this all day long, it appears that the problem is OS X is not sending the proper AD Credentials to the scripts on login. This is causing the SMB authentication error. Is there a work around or a fix for this? Here is the part of the script we are using:
/usr/bin/su -l "$3" -c "/sbin/mount_smbfs "//servername/location/toshare/${3// /%20}/desktop" '/Users/$3/Desktop'"
As you can see we are running the command as the currently logged in user and we are getting an authentication error...this worked perfectly with 10.7.4...
+5I'm also having this issue. Though I think it is a Kerberos change in 10.8. It looks like even with a valid ticket, it still prompts me for a password in terminal. Kerberos should allow this to mount without authentication.
+35I don't use that script, but an AppleScript.
It's currently working across 10.6 - 10.8

+24Running it as a login policy is your problem. Because you're realistically running as a different user (root or the casper admin account) OS X prevents access to the user's issued Kerberos tickets. This is a security feature, not a bug.
Run your script as a launchd item instead and it will work fine. (This is what I'm doing.)
