Registering users
To control who has access to your Remote Access Personal Server, you can set
up permissions that identify each user and give each one a password. You can
register as many as 100 users. If you choose, you can also allow guests to call,
as explained later in this chapter. Before any user or guest can call, a
corresponding user or guest icon must exist in the Users & Groups control
panel on your computer.
Working with personal file sharing and AppleShare file servers
Remote Access Personal Server uses the same Users & Groups control panel
that is used for personal file sharing and program linking. If you’ve already
set up a user for file sharing, use the same user icon to set up the user’s
remote access to your computer.
If you are running Remote Access Personal Server and AppleShare on the
same computer, the AppleShare permissions settings will always override the
Users & Groups settings for both personal file sharing and Remote Access.
To ensure the correct permission settings for anyone dialing into the Remote
Access Personal Server, register your remote users through the AppleShare
administration utility provided with AppleShare. See your AppleShare
administrator’s guide for more information.
For more information on setting up permissions with Users & Groups, see
your Mac OS documentation.
Naming a registered user (Users & Groups control panel)
The Remote Access Personal Server software automatically sets up a user file
for you as owner of your computer, using the owner name specified in the
Sharing Setup control panel for personal file sharing. (If you haven’t specified
an owner name in the Sharing Setup control panel, you can either open that
control panel and fill in the owner name and password information or follow
the steps below to create a user file for yourself.)
