Let me explain my situation. The office has MacOS9, MacOSX (10.4),
Win2k, WinXP and now one Vista machine,all sharing a common Ethernet. A
MacMini is set up as a backup disc, with a number of folders for other
people to backup files to. It also runs FileMaker Server 5.5 (which
works perfectly over Ethernet, including on Vista).
All machines except the Vista machine work as they are supposed to.
They can access various folders on the MacMini depending on how their
permission are set in the MacMini. Vista (after tweaking LAN Manager as
described here) can now get into the Mac, but ONLY into folders set to
allow access to Everyone. All the other machines can access specific
folders depending on how access permissions are set, and other machines
are defined in specific groups accordingly. Sales can only access one
group of folders, Management can access everything, etc.
Obviously I want to lock all the folders on the MacMini's that they can
only be accessed by clients with the right user name/password, but I
can't get Vista to do that.
Since I can see the MacMini folders and access the ones that are fully
open, I cheerfully admit that the problem seems to be in the MacMini
settings, but unfortunately I still can't resolve it...
If anyone has any suggestions of something to try I would appreciate
it.
