Here is a freebie application that mounts network home directories in an Open Directory environment. The program does a quick LDAP lookup and mounts the Volume. It also lets you specify a second mount volume for shared files.
This application is useful for environments that don’t have many MCX clients, yet want to be able to conveniently mount home directories. This is especially suited to elementary schools where student proficiency is still low and IT support is minimal.

Cool app,Not important but you might map the escape keys to the cancel
buttons for good measure as I noticed they dont work.
It’d also be nice for it to see if a user has a Kerb TGT and then not prompt for
username and password.
