You Know What's Weird?

OS X has no way to automatically mount a given AppleShare volume on login. Weird. It's OK, there's a shareware app. But really, seems like a natural thing.

OK, I'm sort of lying. You can do it by dicking around with shell scripts. I'm not sure that counts for the average user, though.

If anyone's paying attention -- you can do it using a location file.

afp://user:pass@host/

Drag that text to the desktop, and you get a location file. Stick that in your Login pane. Voila.
