Thanks for the interest.

Heres the way I set things up; in NetInfo manager, create a new entry under mounts... heres how the properties are set:

Property		Value(s)
name			<Server IP Address>:/<Share Name>
dir			/Network/<Server Name>
opts			url==smb://<username>:<password>@<Server IP Address>/<Share Name>
			nosuid
vfstype			url

Once you save this into netinfo, all you need to do in order to emulate UNC paths, create a directory at the root level with the same name as the server, then in that directory create a symbolic link with the name of your smb share that points to /Network/<Server Name>...

That way //<Server Name>/<Share Name> will work, and the mount will work no matter who is logged in -- I think I chmoded the dir I created at the root level with the server's name to 777, but I don't know if this is really needed.

Let me know what your results are. Send me an email directly.

If anyone is interested in using this method instead of using the mount command, I can post exactly how I have things set up.
