Chapter 3 Setting Up Share Points 47
Mounting a user’s home folder
To mount a user’s home folder, use mnthome. The mnthome tool unmounts the AFP
home folder that was automounted as guest, and remounts it with the correct
privileges by logging into the AFP server using the current user name and password.
To mount a user’s shared home folder on an AFP server: Â
$ mnthome -p password
For more information, see the mnthome man page.
