If you use automount, you don't need "terminal commands". You need to
configure this once and the MAC will automatically mount the NFS drives
when it needs them. If the mac boots while the NFS server is down, but
it doesn'T yetr need to access to those drives, the user won't know
about it, and when the user tries to access the drive, if the NFS server
is back up, the user gets in.

With 10.4 and before, there is the netinfo database. Enter your mounts
there and voila. With 10.5 Apple used a new config database
enviropnment so the commands are different.

Is the VMS data "public", or is it to be a per-user storage system ?
