Logon Profile and Network Drive

[thirukumaran]

Hi All, I'm new to (K)Ubuntu.
Can you anyone please advice me to create a profile settings and network drive can be mapped automatically when user login to the (like Domain and active user profile on windows environment) Ubuntu systems?

When you are log into your unix system, a file called .profile is read from your home directory, which you can create/modify to perform any tasks you would like upon login. So you would put things like your mount command for mounting your network drive here.

Additionally, most shells also have a dot-rc file, e.g. .bashrc, .kshrc, etc. which is run when that shell is launched. So if your shell (as defined in /etc/passwd) is bash, you could also put your startup stuff in the .bashrc file in your home directory.
