pam_mount no longer mounts my CIFS shares after upgrading to 10.04 from 8.04

I had pam_mount set up to mount a few CIFS shares, and it worked great under 8.04. I just did a clean install of 10.04, added my volume definitions to /etc/security/pam_mount.conf.xml exactly as they were in 8.04. I expected it would work in the same manner.

4)
Nothing gets mounted when a user logs in. I turned on debugging (<debug enable="2" />), and pam_mount says (via syslog) that there are no volumes to mount. For the record, I can mount these shares manually from the 10.04 system using "mount -t cifs ...".

I had a similar issue. My issue was because %USER now returns domain\user format. I switched it to $(DOMAIN_USER) and it corrected that issue. Sadly, it leads to other issues.

Using %(DOMAIN_USER) did in fact solve the problem. Thank you.

Guys does anyone have any working smbfs/cifs configurations with libpam-mount to share? I am having trouble connected to the Windows Shares. I get the dreaded "no volumes to mount" error and I get nowhere! any ideas?
