It sounds like you need to make a login item that runs when a user logs in. Each user would have their own script to mount the desired network shares.
Transform your phone as a network drive (also known as 'z drive'). Access your phone/device files with common softwares: MAC OS Finder, Windows File Explorer, Android ES Explorer, VLC, Kodi etc. LAN Drive is a powerfull and easy SMB server - also known as SAMBA server - designed for filesharing.
- The fact that macOS doesn’t support Windows NTFS drives out of the box has led to the development of a number of third-party apps, which are licensed to both read and write to Windows disks.
- Strangely within this option the shared servers don't even appear there. Instead there is a folder called 'Servers' and within that are two shortcuts that lead to the root drive of my Mac (which is named 'glados' on the network). However, on another mac on my network, things seem all fine and dandy there.
There are multiple ways to go about it…

Personally I have found that mounting network disks via scripts are never really flawless & can fail (especially if multiple users are logged in - disable fast user switching to stop that). You well need to test & see what works for you - one word of advice, avoid any scripts that save the password - it is terrible for security & difficult to manage. The password need to be in the keychain if it needs to be saved.

As for writing to /usr/bin, that belongs to the OS, you can't save data there because the OS prevents it. The correct location is /usr/local or within your home directories. Frankly you don't need third party binaries to mount network disks, the OS does it already, so post info about the tool you used if you really want to pursue that method.

The ability to switch between different sets of network settings (locations) can be useful in circumstances such as these: Install spotify app mac pro.
- You use the same type of network (such as Ethernet) at work and at home, but the settings you use at work don't allow your Mac to automatically connect to the same type of network at home.
- Your Mac connects to more than one type of network service (such as both Wi-Fi and Ethernet) at work and at home, but at work you want your Mac to try connecting to the Ethernet network first, and at home you want your Mac to try connecting to the Wi-Fi network first. In other words, you want to set a different service order for each location.
- Your Mac isn't connecting to your network and you want to quickly reset your network settings for testing purposes, without losing your current network settings.
In each of these examples, the Location feature of Network preferences can help.
How to add or remove a network location
- Choose Apple menu () > System Preferences, then click Network.
- The Location pop-up menu shows the name of your currently selected set of network settings. The default location is named Automatic. Choose Edit Locations from this menu.
- Click the Add (+) button below the list of locations, then type a name for the new location, such as Work or Home or Mobile. (To remove a location, use the Remove (–) button below the list.)
- Click Done. The Location menu should now show the name of your new location. Any changes you now make to your Wi-Fi, Ethernet, or other network settings will be saved to that location when you click Apply. The network settings in your previous location remain as you left them, so you can use the Location menu to switch back at any time.
- Click Apply to save your settings and complete the switch from the previous location to the new one. Your Mac then automatically tries to determine the correct settings for each type of network. If you need to change the settings manually, remember to click Apply again after making your changes.
How to switch between network locations
If you have more than one location, you can use either of these methods to switch between them:
- Use the Location pop-up menu in Network preferences, as described above. Remember to click Apply after choosing a location.
- Or choose Apple menu > Location from the menu bar, then choose your location from the submenu.
How to change the network service order
Mac Photos App Network Drive
If you're using network locations because you want each location to prefer a different network service (such as Wi-Fi or Ethernet) when connecting, follow these steps to change the service order (also known as port priority) in each location.
- Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Network.
- Use the Location menu to choose the location you want to modify.
- Click below the list of services, then choose Set Service Order.
- Drag services within the list to change their order. Your Mac will try to connect to the service at the top of the list first, then continue in descending order until a connection is successful.
Virtual private network (VPN) connections can't be reordered, because they always take priority over other connections. - Click OK, then click Apply to make the updated service order active.

How to prevent a network service from being used
Map Network Drive On Mac
By default, the location named Automatic makes all available network services (also known as ports or network interfaces) active, whether or not they are being used to connect to a network. Your Mac automatically searches these services for a network or Internet connection. For example, you might use a Wi-Fi network at home but an Ethernet network at work. Your Mac automatically detects which of these network services to use when it connects.
If you want to make sure that your Mac doesn't use a particular network service, such as Wi-Fi, you can make that service inactive in any of your network locations:
- Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Network.
- Use the Location menu to choose the location you want to modify.
- Click below of the list of services, then choose Make Service Inactive.
- Click Apply.
