Allow shared write access to any directory
Authored by: shavenyak on Jan 11, '06 11:13:02AM

Crap. I sat down and figured out how to do all this on my own over this past weekend, while moving a bunch of family data from an old Linux server to our new Mac mini. I was gonna write it up and submit it as a hint, but hadn't gotten around to it yet. Changing the global default umask was really the only hard part, the rest is pretty straightforward Unix stuff. I also had to figure out how to get Tiger to mount the drive in my MiniStack at boot time instead of waiting until a user logs in, since I'm sharing this data out to the LAN.

On the iTunes and iPhoto libraries and Movies folder stuff, though, I wonder if it would be better to use aliases instead of symlinks?

Why don't you write a hint about mounting drives at boot time? I think there would be some interest in that.
