    We use Microsoft's UAM for OSX
    <http://www.microsoft.com/mac/otherproducts/otherproducts.aspx?pid=windows2000sfm>
    for user authentication to our Win2K domain running SFM.

    Our typical procedure has been to use Go>Connect to server and bring up
    the various AFP: shared volumes on our server. After they're mounted, I
    make an alias of them and leave the alias in a folder or on the desktop,
    so that remounting that share later is easy: double-click on it, you're
    asked to log on and it mounts.

    In 10.2 several of my users put a folder of these in the dock. That way
    when they click on the folder the list of network shares pops up and
    they select the one they want.

    In 10.3 the alias from the *dock* doesn't work. The login box pops up
    just fine, but you cannot type in the boxes to enter, for example, your
    password, or change the user name.

    SMB: shares treated this way work fine, and double clicking on the
    original AFP: alias that was dragged to the dock also works.

    Has anyone run into this or am I stuck with another 'weird problem no
    one but Bruce has ever seen'?
