That is exactly the same situation as mine. We are a small lab with a
single account shared by all members (mixed OS with Windows/Scientific
Linux/CentOS). On the Linux machines, Windows shares get auto-mounted
when user tries to access them and unmounted after certain inactivity.
I'm using the "3. Even-better method" on the wiki.
