Hi all,
I'm having a weird problem after I recover my system from a TM backup. Well, the entire history: my HD died, I bought a new one, installed the OSX (Snow Leopard) from the DVD and restore my TM backup.
The problem is that I can't access my Public folder over the network, as commonly used to share files. I had tested with other Macs in my network. My file sharing configurations are OK. I have checked the directory permissions and they are OK too.
Some characteristics of my system:
- I have a partition for Macintosh HD and another for my Home.
- I have the users: manager, jorge and convidado. The user manager I think I created when installing the OSX and the users jorge and convidado came from the TM backup.
- At the path /Users (where OSX put the users' folders) I have the manager folder and one named Shared. In the past installation I had a symbolic link with the username to a path where I put the home folders. For example, I had a symbolic link /Users/jorge pointing to /Volume/homepartition/jorge.
- After the backup restoring I have NO symbolic link at /Users, but the user jorge and convidado still works (except the file sharing for jorge).
- (crazy) The public folder for user convidado is working!!!
- But, the public folder for the user jorge doesn't work and I can't share anything!
I don't understand why. The user convidado and jorge should have the same behavior, but not.
And, my user is jorge and I would like so much the file sharing works for that!
Could anyone help me?
