The Access Connect Zidget is the simplest way to configure a Macintosh client to access DFS. The Zidget allows Mac users to browse the DFS namespace and mount individual DFS target volumes. Once mounted, the user can access the chosen DFS target volumes through the Finder, as they would traditional shared volumes. The Zidget’s primary advantage over the DFS Client application and auto_master modification options is that it is compatible with Mac OS X 10.4 or later and that it allows users full file search capabilities. Full details on installing, configuring, and accessing DFS with the Zidget can be found in the Macintosh Client Configuration for DFS.
