Well, technically you are correct, of course. But they do not deliver what I hope to get or expect. May I call that out of date?

Yes, but again: What does Joe Average expect?

If I click on one of the volumes shared by the server, it mounts, it appears on my desktop (that's configureable in Finder's preferences), the entry for the server in the Shared section of the sidebar gains the eject button and moves to the top of the list, the volume in the list of shares served from the server gains the eject icon, etc. All of those are indications that nothing was mounted before I clicked and was after.
Exactly.

I cannot mount myself, because I would need the users password in order to do so. Perhaps advising the user to click (in order to mount) is the best solution.
Anyway, thanks for your thoughts, Ken!
