The mount is not shared between users.  Authentication is currently =20
through Apples Active Directory (Openldap) user accounts created =20
through workgroup manager.  I need to make this as simple as possible =20
for the user.  Right now the workstation has a generic account and a =20
root account.  Should I create an account with the same info as user =20
account on the apple server?
