Directories and Access Permissions — AppleVolumes.default
Here, define directories to export. Set the access permissions with the
customary Unix user and group permissions. This is configured in the
AppleVolumes.default file. Along with AppleVolumes.default,
additional files can be created, such as AppleVolumes.guest, used by
some servers (by giving the option -defaultvol in the afpd.conf file.
See the previous section).
Note
Here, the syntax has partially changed. Take this into consid-
eration if you are updating this version from a previous one.
For example, it is now allow: instead of access= (a typical
symptom would be if, instead of the drive descriptions, you were
to see a display of the drive options on the Mac clients in the
‘Chooser’). Because the new files are created with the .rpmnew
endings during an update, it is possible that your previous set-
tings may no longer function as a result of the modified syntax.
Create backups of your configuration files, copy your old config-
uration into the new files, then rename these files to the proper
names. This way, benefit from the current comments contained in
the configuration files, which provide a detailed explanation of
the options.
Note
The example shown here:
/usr/local/psfonts "PostScript Fonts"
indicates that the Linux directory /usr/local/psfonts, located in
the root directory, is available as an AppleShare volume with the name
“PostScript Fonts”.
Options are separated by a space and attached to the end of a line. A very
useful option is the access restriction:
/usr/local/psfonts "PostScript Fonts" allow:User1,@group0
