If you need a user (or yourself :-) to be able to mount directories other than
their home directory via AppleTalk, do the following:
Find or create a file called ".AppleVolumes" in the user's home directory (note
the dot).
Make sure this file has
~
on a line by itself (that allows the user to mount the home directory).
then add additional lines for other directories you want to give access to:
/path/to/some/directory "Some Directory"
/path/to/another/directory "Another Directory"
In this case /path/to/some/directory is the full Unix path (if I had any
ambition in life I'd test to see whether relative paths work, but hey...) and
"Some Directory" shows up in the chooser as if it were a volume.
Of course, the user still has to have the appropriate permissions to actually
mount the directory (after all, any user can create their own .AppleVolumes
file).
If there's a .AppleVolumes already there, it'll probably have a bunch of
comments in it that tell more about how to use it, but these are the basics. If
not, look at /etc/atalk/.AppleVolumes.default and
/etc/atalk/.AppleVolumes.system for info and system-wide settings.
Side note: you might want to dump telnet in favor of ssh, especially if you're
going to su a lot.

See "Apache: The Definitive Guide" pp.36-37. This is probably on line somewhere
too ( though http://httpd.apache.org/docs/misc/FAQ.html#forbidden is not
especially helpful).
