I am looking for an elegant solution to (what I thought) was a simple problem. I have a PowerMacG4 on 10.4.6 that is joined to my Active Directory domain. This mac is shared by about 80 people in a single department. The problem is that not everyone is computer savvy enough to use the "Connect to Server..." command in the Finder to get where they need to go on the network. What I want to do is automatically connect to the most common network shares based on the authenticating user. I've only been able to find two ways to do this: Login Items and Login Hooks.
I can't use Login Items because that would require that every use know how to do this. I am having trouble using Login Hooks because the script is run as the root user and no system attributes are available (think 'set username to system attribute "USER"'). I can't seem to find an FSTAB file to use as I might try in a true *nix system.
Help! Any ideas will be graciously accepted.
