Remote mounting of disk images without logged in local user

Most people will want to use their own user id. Since teh shell sets a variable for this, you can use that instead of determining and typing in your UID... Thusly:

disktool -c $UID

FYI: bash and zsh set the UID environment variable; tcsh
doesn't.

Whoops... UID is a regular shell variable, not an environment
variable.

Tcsh sets the variable $uid (lowercase) instead, and it is a shell variable, not an environment variable.
