Re: Mapping Shared IFS folders to Mac

[Jon Paris <jon.paris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm only interested in the Mac "consuming" the exported folders Rob.

I agree about using the native mount (i.e. native to Mac) but how the beep do you tell it what server to connect to? - the man pages go on forever and (like most Linux docs) use a lot of words to say nothing terribly useful. And of course there is no help ,,,
