More precisely, given the share name someone would see from a different machine, and knowing the share is from 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 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/. The netinfo headers were removed because the APIs are now fully deprecated and will go away completely in future releases of the OS. For now, it's may be a reasonable stop-gap solution, just be aware that it's going to break at some point. Right... in my haste to respond I didn't fully explain the caveats about this option.
