Before writing this, I did set up things on my laptop to and as I'm not at work, so all I have is just dummy link under Network. Click does nothing. Splendid :-) PS! Do set some username/password on afp share, although I have free guest access, I never got those afp:// links to work without creditentials. Maybe I did miss something.... Yes,

I just have to learn the magic combination of automount flags to get AFP to work correctly. Any advice? Thanks, Priit.

It does not fail gracefully at all. I did setup one nfs and one afp automount and both work as expected (btw, static mounts), until network disappears. As I have some laptops here too, I tested the setup by pulling network cord out. The result is that those nfs mounts froze my Finder for a 5 minute and gave me a dialog box to choose: try reconnect or disconnect. Try reconnect means another 5 minutes of frozen Finder, so i pressed disconnect. Afp mount meanwhile just informed that server is gone, press ok. Allright, time to reconnect network cord. Afp mount connects momentarily, after I click network/sharename, but not nfs - "The alias Library could not be opened, because the original item cannot be found". And this is permanent, until I kill that automount in terminal. In the end it is just stupid to advise your stuff, that they must restart to use nfs shares again if for example, server disappears and you did press disconnect to get Finder back.... So my advice - stay away from nfs, use afp instead, works like a dream. Well, speaking about my experience, this nfs thing is really-really bad idea. It does not fail gracefully at all.

However, you *can* use kerberized NFS (never tried it, certainly wouldn't be straightforward under client OS X), or you could just specify that the mount be read-only, so that it can only be modified on the server box. Add the value "ro" to the options property, IIRC. The main problem with NFS is the ‘uid clash’ issue, especially as every user is likely to be UID 501 before you set this up :-).
