Hmm, here is one that is stumping me. I am accessing my OSX machine remotely and want to mount the hard drive of one of the macs on the local network there, so I can access that macs contents through my terminal connection. This is something I do routinely when sitting in front of my machine, but that is using the go...->servers.. menu command in the finder. Any ideas?

Try something like:
# mount -t afp afp://server/share /mnt
Of course, you\'ll have to mkdir /mnt first...
# mount -t afp afp://server/share /mnt
Of course, you\'ll have to mkdir /mnt first...

Sure, you get cryptic messages, but the share _is_ mounted. At least it was
in my case (I have guest access for the share I tried to mount; I\'m not
sure of the syntax for an afp url which includes a username and password).
After you do the mount, it should show up in df. This is gonna look screwey
because it really needs a fixed-width font:

but you can see from this that I now have an afp share mounted under /mnt.
