(Use shared folder as intermediate point)

Actually, I set up all my drives as public sharing access, because I
usually log in as guest, so I can use easymount aliases without a
password. It must be nice to have so much memory, my mac plus only
has 4mb total, so I can forget about any ramdisk, much less 4mb.
Thank god for fast hard drives and scsi drivers :)

	On a totally unrelated question, normally, when you open
an easymount server alias, it opens the window right away. I had
discovered that if you hold down the control key when you open it,
it would just mount the server, without opening the window. I just
reinstalled my system from scratch on a different HD, and now that
feature doesn't work, the windows always open. Any ideas? Thanks!
