Thanks for the recommendation, Loic, but i'm not sure that's the right thing either. For one thing, i want pam_mount to only fire for graphical logins -- there are other accounts that need access to this machine over the network, for example, which should not have pam_mount try to mount any homedirs.

What's more, /etc/pam.d/common-pammount contains both auth and session directives, so even if i did want pam_mount to trigger for every type of PAM-triggered connection, if it was included in common-auth and common-session, those directives would be duplicated (which would try to mount the homedir twice, afacit):

0 root@mew:~# grep '^[^#]' /etc/pam.d/common-pammount
auth       required   pam_mount.so try_first_pass
session    required   pam_mount.so try_first_pass
0 root@mew:~#
