file under: outboard brain

Automounting under Tiger doesn’t work like it did in earlier releases. So I had to figure out how to do it all over again. Now it seems to work. It required doing it all in NetInfo Manager for now: I couldn’t make the older directions I had used work. I think that may have something to do with my system rebuild: I dimly remember using the flatfiles option (very old school) for these types of things.

This is what I got from nidump -r / / (It’s the moral equivalent of mounting red:/opt/music on /Network/Servers/Music but not as direct.)

    { 
      "name" = ( "mounts" );
      CHILDREN = ( 
        { 
          "name" = ( "red:/opt/music" );
          "dir" = ( "/Network/Servers/Music" );
          "vfstype" = ( "nfs" );
          "opts" = ( "net" );
        }
      ) 
    },    

And it looks like this in NetInfo Manager:
