Hey Pete,

To get all the options, I had to use Directory Services. I don't think
you can pass any options in the apple-k finder dialog. You can pass it
all the ... ah fer chrissake... Sorry it's in Netinfo Manager
application which... I don't know why it's two seperate utilities.
Anyway... I think you can only pass options via the shell command you
have below, or from setting it up in /mounts in Netinfo Manager.
If you play with the /etc files you can use the automount.conf and
fstab. But I never got that to work for me.
I'm sure you know all this, but anyway this is all I know about the topic.
