Trying to setup roaming profile for user by mounting remote samba share using pam_mount. However, nounix option is being automatically added on the mounted folder due to which symlinks cannot be created on the shared folder nor can the csync program be used for syncing.

Thanks in advance, have been stuck on this for a while now.

With the folder already mounted by pam_mount, if I unmount and then remount it get the same mount output.

However if I disable folder mount in pam_mount, logout, login and try to mount it manually via the command line, then in some cases I do not get nounix in the mount options? (quite confusing; need to pinpoint where it works and where it doesnt)
