Sharing in 10.2: Jaguar
Authored by: apw8 on Apr 07, '03 09:23:25PM

I had attempted to share a folder in Jaguar using the steps listed above, but I just couldn't get it to work. Under Jaguar, you need to have all of the following properties to each new SharePoint:

  • name -NetInfo name
  • directory_path -Path to directory
  • afp_use_parent_owner -Boolean: Use owner of parent?
  • afp_use_parent_privs -Boolean: Use privileges of parent?
  • afp_shared -Boolean: Share this item?
  • afp_name -Name visble to clients

name is only used in NetInfo, while afp_name will be used to identify the directory to the client. directory_path should start with a slash (/) so that it is not a relative path. Both afp_use_parent_owner and afp_use_parent_privs should be set to 0 (zero). Finally, make sure that afp_shared is set to 1 (one) so that it will share the directory.

Sharing in 10.2: Jaguar
Authored by: methodshop on Jun 20, '03 06:38:23PM

It's very easy to share a folder or hard drive connected to an osx server. but not non-connected machines on the network. I want to share a hard drive on a client computer running off an osx server network. When i open the NetInfo Manager and select "config" on that client computer, my only option is "AppleFileServer". how can i share these files?

Just simpy create the SharePoints directory that is now missing by default in 10.2.

The directions work along with the parent post, but now you've got to also add the directory for the sharepoints.
