[X4U] Turn on file sharing from the Terminal?

[Peter Krug]

Is it possible to turn on file sharing from the terminal?  One of my 
supportees has an iBook running 10.2.8 that is exhibiting the failing 
logic board issues, including no monitor (LCD or external) and no 
firewire target mode.  Apple is waiting for me to pack it up and send 
it, but I'm trying to get a few files off of it.

I can hear it go through the boot sequence, and at the login window, 
when I enter the first letter of the name, then press return and enter 
the user's password, I can hear it log in.  I can open the hard drive 
and folders and apps by typing the first letter then command-o.  It's 
not on the network (an Airport network), so I presume that file sharing 
is turned off.

I can open the terminal (At least I'm pretty sure I can).  Is there a 
simple command that will turn on filesharing from the terminal?  I 
can't use the Sharing pref pane since I cannot see where the cursor is.

Thanks for any help,

Peter
