Notes

• The example above shows access restriction by user. To restrict access by group, click the Local Groups tab and select

group permissions. The most restrictive access always applies. If both read-only and read & write permissions are

given to a user, the user will effectively have read-only access.

• The following characters are handled differently by Mac OS and Windows. Avoid using these characters when

sharing data between Mac OS and Windows:

• Windows does not support some characters that Mac OS and the LinkStation allow. If you create a filename on a

Mac with any of the following characters, it will not display correctly on a Windows computer and you may have to

connect to the LinkStation via AFP in order to display or copy any of the following characters on a Mac computer.

? [ ] / \ = + < > ; : “ , | *

shutdown, halt, operator, nobody, mail, news, uucp, ftp, kmem, utmp, shadow, users, nogroup, all, none, hdusers,

admin, guest, man, www, sshd, administrator, ftpuser, apache, mysql

the LinkStation: info, spool, lost+found, global, printers, homes, lp, authtest, ram, msdfs_root, mt-daapd, usbdisk#

(where # is a number, for example: usbdisk1)
