Although MacOSX is FreeBSD based, it's somewhat dangerous to deal
with the non-GUI based UI junk as the Unix commands don't tie into the
OS very well, IMO.
That was the only sad thing about OSX for me I discovered, but Apple
probably thought that people would like to connect to servers via the
GUI method more than the CLI based command =\.
If you need scriptability, there're always Applescript and the
Automator in 10.4 that ties in with Apple's stuff quite nicely.
