How are the | credentials handled there? I think Mac OS 8 will forget about the credentials. I don't actually know much about how sharing works. But the current file sharing behaviour is not entirely useful to think about, because it doesn't effect the local permissions (much), and the local permission are what I'm worried about. Exported filesystems are another story, and I don't want to compilcate things too much by worrying about that right now. -Fred -- Wilfredo Sanchez, wsanchez@apple.com Apple Computer, Inc., Core Operating Systems / BSD Technical Lead, Darwin Project 1 Infinite Loop, 302-4K, Cupertino, CA 95014 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
