[Mono-osx] How to logon to Win or Mac using credentials through code?

[d_v]

What I would like to do is take a list of fully qualified paths on a Mac and
authenticate so I can get a list of files from the path and then zip them.

Ideally the list of paths on Mac OS X would include local, Mac network, SMB
network:
/MyProgram/Path1/
/MyProgram/Path2/
smb://whatever
...

Then I was hoping to use one Dot Net function to pass the user name and
password to impersonate a user before getting a list of local/network files
to copy and then zip them.

I don't have a Mac network here just one Mac on a Windows Network.  I can
only test Mac local and Mac SMB.

What is the path syntax for a Mac network path (non SMB?).

I am hoping a SMB fully qualified network path is the same as a SMB network
share in syntax for my path list and that I can use the same authentication
method.  Or I guess I could append the credential info to the SMB path - but
that is mono specific code I am hoping to avoid....

Anyways I hope I am on the right track.  I'll look at that link you sent.
thanks.
