Sorry for the slightly off-topic post, although it does involve Macs! 
:^)

Is it possible to access Mac shared volumes from Linux?   For example,
we have a G4 Mac running OS 9, and a Powerbook running Mandrake 8.0.  I
have an external firewire drive mounted, and shared, on the G4.  Is
there any way of mounting and accessing this drive from the Powerbook? 
I can access shared drives on Windows and other Linux boxes but am not
sure how (or if) I can mount a Mac drive.

Thanks

Nick
