Lessons learned and not learned from setting up Netinfo, sharing, etc.

First off, a BIG thanks to Lance Ogletree for helping me with domains in netinfo. If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have gotten as far as I have.

My problem now is with automounting nonstandard located homes shares, and general access shares. If I mount a users share using the standard location with Workgroup Manager, the share works. If I attempt to set the share up on my second larger cap hard drive, following the directions to the letter, it does not. It mounts a share visible to the client which seems to be a phantom, it only has a library and desktop folder in it, and anything copied into it is not findable anywhere. And I mean anywhere. Where it rights to I don't know, and can't seem to figure out.

Now with the share I want everyone to have read write access too, I'd like it to either show up in the level right under the network folder, but neither dynamic mounting or static mounting to a specific location makes that happen, one must browse several levels deep, as in network/ servers/ server name/server drive/volumes/share name. Kind of unwieldly. I'd like it to just be right there on the desktop, be able to make an alias to it on the desktop. Either is good, but just having it easier to find for my users would be great.

I'd like to be able to move the home shares to the second hard drive, as it helps separate things and has a higher storage capacity.

Any pointers would be appreciated. I've pretty much tried all the combinations of settings I can dream up.

Thanks.
