Wouldn't this be a neat idea
Authored by: mzs on Jul 06, '04 12:50:13PM

It would be nice is in the Sharing pane in the System Preferences, if I could enable Personal File Sharing, but in the firewall close those ports. Then I could just click on the home folder of the user under Network in the Finder and enter a password. This way all the files would be created and accessed with the user id of that user and I would not have to play any tricks with permissions and what not. Maybe somebody has already figured this out? In any case with FUS it is not too much trouble to go and grab whatever I need when I need it.

Well you could do exactly what you suggested. enable personal fire sharing then close those ports in the firewall. You can do this.<p>
I'm not sure if you could then afp:// to local host or not.
