[MacTUG] Mapping a Network Drive at Login

[Marlon A. Griffith]

Hi Lowell,

I have not tried this but when I hard code this the syntax is different: smb://username@fileu.uwaterloo.ca/userShare/. Then the user is prompted for their password, while their userid is already filled in.

Maybe, the syntax is different at UW.

I’ve tried adding it to the Login Items as per, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4011, but it won’t pass the username and password. I’ve also tried it using the mount command but with no luck.
