Resetting Appleshare client login prefs
Authored by: m.miller on Jun 06, '03 02:52:38PM

I could not find the .globalpreferences.plist in os 10.2.6

Nor did modifying the AppleShareClientPrefs.plist make a difference

I finally just logged onto an AFP server running 9.2 and at the login dialog hit the "options"

Then I could log onto our W2K server with clear text back on!

Resetting Appleshare client login prefs

the file is hidden. you must go into the Terminal to change it or use a utility such as Cocktail to show hidden files in the Finder.

you didn't find the .globalpreferences file because it has a '.' leading the filename, which is a hidden unix file. Finder does not show hidden files, and if you are in the terminal you must issue an 'ls -a' command. the -a flag indicates show hidden files ( a stands for all). By the way, just used this hint on a jaguar machine and it worked great. I didn't even have to go to the user's desk, just ssh'd to his machine and vi'd that pref file, then had him log out and back in.
