I have three drives being shared on one Mac - two internal, one external. The permissions of both the secondary internal and the external are -
Me - Read & Write
Everyone - No Access
The external drive, for some reason, is accessible on the network under a guest account (ie. without any password). It's listed on other Macs as a sharepoint. It's the only drive out of the three that I don't need to login to access.
I'd be grateful if an anyone tell me why this is so and how I can fix it?
EDIT: I've just now (after about a year of doing this) noticed that I don't actually need to share specific folders to access anything once I can log into an admin account from another Mac. That solves the problem for me but I'd still love to know why this drive was being shared.
