I used this suggestion, which was a great suggestion, but have run into a
snag.  These eMacs are shut down each night.  When they are turned on the
next day, when the staff double-click on iPhoto, it says it can't find the
library.  If I click 'Find Library' and navigate to the iPhoto Library alias
in the Pictures folder it sometimes will open, thus mounting the server and
allowing me to open iPhoto.  Other times it will prompt me for an SMB
password, which I've already added to the keychain.  These are special
education students, and the staff are not computer literate at all.  I'm
still explaining how to "Save" and "Copy and Paste" on a daily basis.  For
them to have to select 'Find Library' each day and navigate to the proper
place is not really possible.  I just know I'm going to get 30 calls a day
about this from each classroom.  Any suggestions?
