Hi there, I was wondering if anyone knew if was possible to specify which users on a system can log on remotely using Personal File Sharing. I currently have it setup so that I can connect to my iMac from my MacBook Pro to access my files but because there are other user accounts on that system that don't have passwords on them, I find that it could become a security risk. I can log on as one of the other users by just entering their username without a password and have full access to their files. Any ideas? I'm hoping there might be a way that I can just set it so that the Personal File Sharing will only let my account log on.

Thanks in advance
 
Mac OS X's filesharing/network configuration SUCKS! This better get fixed with Leopard! There's no excuse for it. XP/Vista is way ahead on this. Mac OS (Classic) was always better than Windows in this area. With OS X Apple took a few steps back when it comes to this. :mad:
 
How about put passwords on the other accounts?

Otherwise you got me on this one.
Hmm... damn I was hoping that there might have been another solution and that I wouldn't have to do that.

Is there not some sort of command or file I can edit to set which accounts are allowed access to certain services? :(
