Login order of operations change form panther to tiger breaks my custom setup

Does anybody know how to make MCX settings apply before login hooks in tiger like panther used to be? Or can anyone tell me how to pass the username and password from the login window to a shell script so that I could mount volumes with the logged in users credentials. I wondered if anyone new about the changes in tiger that seem to run the login hook before applying MCX settings and how to change it. In panther I used mobile accounts and login scripts that redirected the desktop, documents, pictures and bookmarks to the network through an AFP mount that was applied from MCX. In tiger those volumes don't get mounted before the login scripts run. Another solution would be to mount the volume in the script, but I must be able to pass the username and password dynamically to the mount command from where I don't know.
