This requires no user intervention, and lets you use standard username and
password features of the server. I can see where an alias would let you do
this if you logged in as guest, but if you logged in as a specific user,
wouldn't it require typing in a password? Even with the keychain, you still
have to unlock it before it will process your server aliases.

In my case, I grabbed the mountinfo record once, turned it into a hard coded
param block, and never touched it again.

This is all part of an automated backup util that logs a user into the
server and backs up critical files to the server.

So, did you catch the bit about the recent Toolbox additions not working in
FB3 v4?
