Attached should be a patch to do the above.  I've not tested it.  Let me know
if the patch itself won't apply, or the patched code doesn't work, or you need
help configuring it, or what ever.  The patch is something I did real quick
from the CVS RELENG code base, so it may not apply cleanly to the different
release versions...

You will need to install the PEAR module File_Fstab.  You can do that, 
usually,
with the command (as root):

pear install File_Fstab

You will also need to change your Accounts configuration file to set two new
parameters: translateMountPoint and translationTable.  On RH linux, you 
can use
/etc/mtab for translationTable (or it should also work with /etc/fstab).  See
the comments in the patch (or patched driver) for info on setting them.

BTW, this patches the file accounts/lib/Driver/localhost.php :)
