Mount external drives without user login in OSX Leopard, and Tiger

Download this file, save it as autodiskmount.plist, move it to /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/ and reboot.

-or-

Create a blank text file, and past this code in:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>AutomountDisksWithoutUserLogin</key>
<true/>
</dict>
</plist>

Save the file as autodiskmount.plist
move the file to /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/

Note: The second line is all one line.

reboot, done.

This will mount your drives without logging in.

works in Tiger, and Leopard in my experience.
