A lot of the time I am trying to share files across the families various macs. The desktop has multiple users. For reasons i understand better now, I end up logging in as myself but putting it in the wrong public folder and the person logs in and can't find it.

I'd like to mount and share the <Mac HD/users/shared> folder so anything in these can be used by all the users on that mac. I'd shut off the other public folders, so there would be one shared public folder per machine.

Any issues doing this?

If I end using file vault, once someone starts up and logs in this directory should be unencrypted and available?
