Chapter 7 Initial Server Setup 107
Setting Up User Management
Unless you are using a server exclusively to host Internet content (such as webpages)
or perform computational clustering, you probably want to set up user accounts in
addition to the administrator account created during server setup.
To set up a user account:
1 Open Workgroup Manager.
2 Click the small globe near the top of the application window to select the directory you
want to add users to.
3 Click the New User button.
4 Specify user settings in the panes that appear.
The user management guide tells you how to manage users by setting up group and
computer accounts. It also describes how to set up preference settings in order to
customize the work environments of Mac OS X and Mac OS 9.1 users.
Setting Up File Services
When you turn on file sharing services, users can share items in selected folders.
If you turned on Apple file service during server setup, users who have existing
accounts can already share items by putting them in the Public folders in their home
directories or by copying the items into the Drop Box folder inside another user’s Public
folder.
If you did not turn on Apple file service or other available file services already, you can
turn them on now.
To set up file sharing:
1 Open Server Admin.
2 In the list beneath the server of interest, click each file service you want to turn on,
then click the Start Service button in the toolbar.
To share with Macintosh computers, turn on Apple file service.
To share with Windows computers, turn on Windows service.
To provide File Transfer Protocol (FTP) access, turn on FTP service.
To share with UNIX computers, turn on NFS service.
3 Open Workgroup Manager and click Sharing to set up a share point.
4 Select a volume or folder you want to share from the All list.
5 Click General, then select “Share this item and its contents.”
6 Click Protocols, then select the protocols you want to use for sharing.
The file services administration guide provides instructions for managing share points
and for configuring file sharing using all the protocols.
