Automount Sharepoints WITHOUT MAC SERVER?

my info: Mac PowerPC G4 Quicksilver machines running Mac OSX Panther 10.3.3/Classic OS9 **WE ARE NOT USING APPLE OS X SERVER** well, i am trying to get my lab in order implementing a few new things this quarter. i am having all users now logging in against the domain via LDAP authentication. i am also running the LoginHook to maintain the set desktop settings everytime a person logs out/in. and, i am also maintaining common dock settings for all users who login. so far, everything is working great (thanks to this site ). now, in addition to what i already have going i would like to have one of our database servers automounting for each person who logs in. not only that, but i would like this to happen when classic mode starts as well. i would like a situation where the login window is bypassed and the drive is automatically mapped without having to log into it with a guest acct. and, i would like all of this to function without having to compromise any of my previous settings. i have tried working within /mounts in NETINFO MANAGER, but am unsuccessful. i have encountered a few instances where others said there was problems doing this on Panther. i have also noticed that MAC OSX SERVER is recommended. what i want to know, is it possible to do what i want to do without the use of MAC SERVER? if so, am i missing something in the process? is there anyway to implement this when classic mode starts up with different users? is this possible without creating a GUEST user? PLEASE HELP. i am forever in your debt, ppl. THANKS. jay
