Could anyone give me a few concrete examples of how they're using mount

it's fine under X.

I keep getting errors -5016 (no server) and -3170 (bad endpoint).

IIRC, the -5016 error is due to the inability to "ping" the AFP server you are trying to mount. Normally, the Appleshare client attempts to verify the existence of the Appleshare server with a ping. If you have a firewall that blocks pings, then that is the problem. If it doesn't get a ping response, it assumes the server does not exist.

You can test this by using the WhatRoute tool is OS 9 to try and ping the AFP server. This tool is not installed by default, but you can install it from the CD, or download it from <http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~bryanc/whatroute-17-ppc.hqx>
(that's an old link, try google if it doesn't work, or use ping under OSX)

If you can't "ping" the AFP server from that machine, then you need to install the Appleshare Client Setup tool on your computer.

<http://download.info.apple.com/Apple_Support_Area/Apple_Software_Updates/English-North_American/Macintosh/Misc/AppleShare_Client_Setup.smi.bin>

Once you have the tool installed:

1) Select "Network" from the Pulldown menu
2) Deselect "Verify TCP Address with Ping"


I hope this helps. I have no idea what the -3170 error is.
