well whatever you do don't enable root login! afp passwords are plaintext. edit /etc/netatalk/AppleVolumes.default i have for example: # don't export $HOME as macos dribbles hfs crap all over the place # instead put it in a playpen where the mess can be contained. ~/afp/ "afp" options=,nocrlf,noadouble note that the noadouble doesn't seem to work, or my understanding of what it does is flawed. i hate all that HFS garbage littering my home directory. any export without ~ should be available to everyone, permissions are controlled just the same as thier unix uid. beware that files owned by root will be owned by `<any user>' on macos since uid=0 is <any user> on macos. im pretty sure that afpd is smart enough to not let normal users run around chmoding and chowning and scribbling files owned by root, but i would double check... -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/
