Server Mounter 11 As

Or "Server on the Mount", or the poor man's KeyChain. This application creates documents which, when double-clicked, quickly log you into an AppleShare server. The documents store an alias to the server and your username and password. (The password is encrypted). To create a new document, open just the ServerMounter application (ie: don't open a document), drag the icon of the server you want to store into the document window, (you'll see the machine, volume, and zone appear), enter your username and password, and save the document. To use a document, just double-click the document. If ServerMounter is launched by opening a document it will quickly log you in and then quit itself. The app works by resolving an alias to the server and poking the required keystrokes into the event queue to type the password and username in the log-in dialog. So, it's a bit of a "hack" and I know that in some situations, background processes and extensions can defeat this scheme by gobbling my keystrokes.
