I created a partition of my main disk and I want to serve it to the network so that each time that someone puts turns on their mac, they see the network volume mounted. how could I accomplish this? I knew how to to it on Mac OS 9, but I don't know how to do it in Panther.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

You want an automount sharepoint, it sounds like. The clients that will connect need setup to do this.

You could try using the program "Automount Maker" found on Versiontracker here. http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/21383
You could then use it to make an FTP/AFP/SMB or other mount and then set it as a login item to open/mount the file. I used it to automatically mount my computer's drive downstairs for sometime, very usefull.
From VT:
AutomounMaker is a tool for mounting filesystems of type SMB, AFP, FTP and others. After having created your files of script you can open 'System Preference', choose 'Login' and drag and drop in the list. At next session login, your preferred volumes will go up automatically on your desktop.
Good Luck!
