10.4: One way to automount SMB network shares
Authored by: beepotato on Feb 07, '07 10:19:45AM

Indeed, I think aliases are the best (and easiest) solution if you don't absolutely need your shares to be automatically mounted at login but you just want easy access to them.

It seems a lot of people who are new to MacOS don't know about this and how useful aliases can be, so it is worth repeating it.

It's also worth mentioning that you can also create an alias directly to a folder somewhere deep in the hierarchy of a network share. When you later open the alias, the share will automatically mount and you will be taken directly to this folder, which gives you even faster access.
