Auto-mounting AFS volumes

Question

I've read there are two 'ways' of doing it, 'dynamically', and 'statically'. Which way do I want to do it, the following, and how do I do it, exacly?
I've got GNU Linux servers tarfu, snafu and fubar. Each server is sharing at least 1 volume via netatalk. I have had to mount these volumes after I login since I set up the system about a year ago. I noticed that the "connect at startup" (or whatever it was called) checkbox present from OS ~ through OS 9 was missing, and figured, "oh well. I'll live without it", well, Now I am done living without it.
I want to mount shares at a) boot time or b) login time.
How?
I have scoured google for decent instructions, but all I came up with was this: http://www.bombich.com/mactips/automount.html
Not very helpful. There are no Auth options, which I require, and the instructions just aren't written very well.
Does anyone have any instructions, a blow-by-blow document telling me just how to do what I want to do?

Answer 1

What about applescript ??
I set up an applescript for a client yesterday, that i made into an application... which i told to load on login... would that help ??
My script is below (you'll need to copy into 'Script Editor') and save as an application after cutomising it:
COPY FROM HERE:
tell application "Finder"
if (exists disk "sharename") then
set volumemounted to true
display dialog "'sharename' is already mounted on the Desktop" buttons {"OK"}
if volumemounted = "true" then
quit
end if
else
try
mount volume ("afp://username:[email protected]/sharename")
display dialog "'sharename' was mounted on your desktop." & return & return & "Happy Sharing!" buttons {"OK"}
on error
display dialog "There was an error mounting the 'sharename' Disk. Check the disk is connected to its computer and turned on." buttons {"OK"}
end try
set volumemounted to true
end if
end tell
COPY TO HERE
You'll need to customise the parts in bold...
Ask if you need further clarification...
