I'm trying to figure out how to generate a list of local shares

the machine I'm running on, how do I find the path to that directory?
I thought I had it figured out, using a combination of property
lists and NetInfo (./config/SharePoints, ./users/<username>/
sharedDir), but now I find that in 10.3 and later I can't use
NetInfo. Is that information now accessed via Open Directory? I
don't suppose anyone has done something like this already and could
point me at some sample code? (I guess anything that reads
something that is in NetInfo the new way would be extremely helpful.)
TIA
Philip,
There are two options... the most expedient one would be to grab the
headers for the NetInfo APIs from the appropriate Darwin project and
just continue using them. This can be done by grabbing the
appropriate version of the Libinfo code from http://
darwinsource.opendarwin.org or http://www.opensource.apple.com/
darwinsource/.
Then as root, run "make installhdrs" inside Libinfo-221. This
installs the netinfo headers into /usr/local/include/netinfo.
% sudo -s
% cd Libinfo-221
% make installhdrs
The replacement API for this is called Directory Services (also known
as Open Directory). In order to access sharepoints there is a
standard type for this as of 10.4 (kDSStdRecordTypeSharePoints).
There is not currently a standard type for sharedDir, so you'd need
to use the native type of dsAttrTypeNative:sharedDir for that.
Pre-10.4 you could use dsRecTypeNative:config/SharePoints for the
record type.
The API documentation for Directory Services is here:
