[luau] Liholiho TODO list

[R. Scott Belford]

Warren, I have to wonder if this discussion is best conducted on our 
hosef-managers list.  I will leave it to your discretion to make the 
change if you see fit.  With the idea that this "progress" is 
informative to the list, I will continue the thread on luau.

Easy tiger.  No such assumptions made.  Staying on topic ... you had 3 
question marks after your multihomed statement, and the LTSP apparently 
is not showing up in chooser.  I was just trying to add to our 
"knowledge" based on the info. before me and go from there.  Perhaps I 
am the ignorant one.  If there are going to be afp shares on the LTS, 
they do need to be defined, don't they?  I don't think that it is 
accurate to say that nothing has to be configured.

Both set of instructions include a way to get to this point of choice 
you seek.  They just happen to go further and show a way to map drives. 
  With OSX this is as simple as adding the server to the user's 
favorites.  Upon clicking on this server, they will see the shares once 
they enter their password (if it was not already added to keychain.)

I am just trying to help our group effort.  I assure you I am not so 
bold as to make the assumptions you allege.  Let's just make this a 
positive and rewarding experience for all those involved, especially 
the audience that is this list, *please*
