[PLUG] helping a school district


-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

My Brother-in-law called me today - he's a vice-principal at Delran High School in NJ.
He said they need a Linux "script" to connect to a remote shared (Microsoft) drive.
My notes are:
 Student logs in to Ubuntu 12.04 computer.
 Student is automatically (or manual via icon click) prompted to enter:
 username
 password
 location
 course (optional)
 From this information the script:
 builds the path
 authenticates the user
 mounts the appropriate drive.
Presumably something will be required to disconnect the user's drive when they
log out of the UI.
I could do this with the shell but who (besides me and you) uses the shell?
Is this easy enough to do with something like Tcl/Tk or Perl/Tk (or some Python
magic that I'm totally unaware of)?
Examples? Prior art? Suggestions?
Thanks,
Eric
