Well, I had installed OS X on an unsupported machine, and had virtually everything I wanted working. With two exceptions. Finder wasn’t able to connect to any file sharing servers, but I was able to manually create mounts, using: $ mount_smbfs //user:pass@machine/mount /mnt I was also able to do something similar with AFS shares. Which, by the by, are much nicer - they actually allow me to copy icons from my iMac to my Dell. Then, I happened across this forum post: Personal File Sharing & Samba, JaS 10.4.7 Basically, it seems that some of the files from the Hackintosh installation aren’t perfect. So, the following needs to be done:

    $ cd /usr/sbin
    $ sudo rm AppleFileServer
    $ sudo ln -s /System/Library/CoreServices/AppleFileServer.app/Contents/MacOS/AppleFileServer AppleFileServer
    $ sudo unlink /System/Library/Filesystems/afpfs.fs

I’m not sure about the last one, but I did it anyway. And then I was able to use the Finder “Connect to Server…” tool. And have shortcuts on my desktop to servers.
