AFP Guest Access to the Public folder?? howto? 10.5.4

[omega2red]

Hello,

Ive set up AFP so i can share the Public folder.

my config:
/Macintosh HD1/Users/myusername/Public

Share address:
afp://10.0.0.1/Public

Permissions:
Everyone: Read
myusername: Read & Write

But when i connect to the AFP Share and select the Guest account when asked for a username it fails to connect. When i fill in myusername/password the connection succeeds.

How do i enable the Guest account to connect my share?

I have 10.5.4 client not server.

Can any1 help me?

thanks!!

You should be able find the Guest account under Accounts in System Prefs. You may have disabled it there.

The "Allow guests to connect to shared folder option" is checked

i don't understand why it doesnt work.

How did you go about enabling AFP?

i enable it at sharing at the systempreferences.

i have 3 shares in order of list:
Macintosh HD2->MyUsername(read/write), Everyone(read only)
Public->MyUsername(read/write), Everyone(read only)
myusername(home dir)->MyUsername(read/write)

when i connect to afp://myip/ it automaticly mounts Macinthosh HD2

but when i connect to afp://myip/Public/ i get some errors: 6602 uncespected error etc.

when i connect to afp://myip/myusername/ the home dir share it works with guest access :S

take your share out of your home folder. users other than yourself cannot read /home/username or anything within it.

drop that right into /Public off the hard drive and try. That's what I had to do. Atleast that's what worked for me.

Also you cannot do any ACL editing from the GUI. I had to fiddle with that at one point as well.
