[Casper] Sidebar mounted disks

[Thomas Larkin]

Eh, you could try the good old killall finder as a post command after a
package is installed.  Not sure how that would affect the end user,
could get interesting though for sure!

I've actually reported this to JAMF and they told me that it is an issue
with the Finder not refreshing the Sidebar cache.  I've just been living
with it, but I wonder if there is a command line way to have the sidebar
reload the cache.  Also, I'm not sure exactly how they are mounting the
disks, I would assume with the mount command launched from the jamf
binary because why wouldn't they just use the tools already there. 
Anyway, the mount command has a "-nobrowse" option which hides the
mounted item from the finder completely.  I think this would be a good
option because I don't even want users to see the mounted disk anywhere.

I’ve seen this happen with software installs or updates from policies.
The mounted disk image still shows in the left part of the finder
window.

Haven’t seen if this has carried over into 10.5.7 yet.

Hi-

Are people having problems with disk images not being removed from users’
sidebars when they’re done deploying?  They’re not mounted but stick in
the sidebar.  The only way to get rid of it seems to be by dragging it
off the sidebar.  I’d like to have no evidence that I was there :)
