The reason we don't really like it is:
1) We don't want to enter a password. We want the volumes to automount.
2) It screws up. We get a keychain called "other" that appears
mysteriously and then crashes the finder when we hit cancel.
This has nothing to do with netatalk. Apple needs to improve this.
