linux to an imac

Mounting disk images (.dmg) from the command line, whilst logged in remotely, is easy - find out your numerical uid with id -u, then use disktool -c <uid> to get round the fact that "autodiskmount does not, by default, mount removable media when there is no 'console user'" then finally mount with hdiutil mount <image> and it should be in /Volumes.
