Hello Richard,
I belive that your problem can be solved with auto mounter. Please
follow the link for more information about administering and
accessing remote file systems:
http://docs.sun.com/db/doc/816-4882/6mb2ipq73?q=auto+mount
As you are Unix fan, I guess that you'd be more interested in
documentation than ready made solution. If I'm mistaken, please tell
me and I'll send you instructions
And yes - this is perfectly correct list for such questions :-)
HTH
