No we do not have OS X Server, as much as I wish we did. I am essentially trying to write a script that accepts a name and password and then mounts various shares from various servers (the users home folder, teachers submission folders, etc). It would also be helpful if we could mount another server long enough to append date, time, and user name to a text file and then unmount that drive. (however, usage information is only secondary at this point) We would also need a script that unmounts those drives when the user "logs out." We would like to disable the actual logout option so that they would instead simply be running a script called log out that unmounts their drives and calls the login script. I hope this helps, and once again, any help would be useful.
