Why do you want to mount a > subdirectory of a share instead of mounting the share directly? Well here is the deal. The managers of the system put users, faculty, etc. in different subdirectories. When I use the first smbmount I mount not the directory of csldap1 but the directory of all the home directories of users of the system. I might be able to live with that but it is annoying. Not to make a value judgement but MAC OS X allows you to mount using the share: //trinity-tigers/users/csldap1 to mount only the home directory of csldap1. -- ======================================================================= The goal of science is to build better mousetraps.
