The transition to userless workstations

I am now 100% "userless." All the users on these machines are in the directory (OpenLDAP and krb, via Leopard Server). I log in to icarus and thunder with users from the directory, which is great. But for some reason this only works once. After that, they're unable to log in. I think this is because their home directories get un-auto-mounted when they log out, and wont re-auto-mount them when they log back in.

But until I see otherwise, I'm the only dude using Kerberos on a Mac, so I don't expect anyone to have the answer to this.

Oh. And leave the network (e.g., take a walk with a wireless machine)? Beachball city. Gotta fix that. Offline/cached files, or something. AD does this.
