The other option is to use the auto-mount daemon. This will 
automatically mount only the current user's home directory instead of 
the entire home directory. See my examples below... Works great for us, 
your mileage may vary.

Contents of /etc/auto.master

# $Id: auto.master,v 1.2 1997/10/06 21:52:03 hpa Exp $
# Sample auto.master file
# Format of this file:
# mountpoint map options
# For details of the format look at autofs(8).
 /misc  /etc/auto.misc  --timeout=60
 /home  /etc/auto.home --timeout=10

Contents of /etc/auto.misc

# $Id: auto.misc,v 1.2 1997/10/06 21:52:04 hpa Exp $
# This is an automounter map and it has the following format
# key [ -mount-options-separated-by-comma ] location
# Details may be found in the autofs(5) manpage
                                                                               
cd              -fstype=iso9660,ro,nosuid,nodev :/dev/cdrom
                                                                               
# the following entries are samples to pique your imagination
#linux          -ro,soft,intr           ftp.example.org:/pub/linux
#boot           -fstype=ext2            :/dev/hda1
#floppy         -fstype=auto            :/dev/fd0
