[KLUG Members] fs permissions with smb/nfs/ldap

I have a RH 7.2 server running OpenLdap/Samba/NFS. I can create a user
in the lDAP dir and login into any workstation fine, all seems well. If
I mount a smb file share on the workstation the file permissions are
mounted as root even though I specified the user to mount it as?? I can
specify the uid/gid in the mount parameters but I still have file
permission errors even though the correct user I mounted the file share
under is shown. If I mount a remote file system using NFS I gain file
system rights but everything I modify/create gets assigned an owner of
nfsnobody?? Can someone lead me down the right path so all these things
can live in harmony?? I think I'm missing something simple here.

Also, what is the best method to mount remote filesystems when you login
on a workstation including the user's home directory?? automounter??
Login scripts??

Thanks in advance...........
