[G4] G4 as a file server?

[David Barber]

John,

I've solved this problem by using the unix 'link' command. I create a symbolic link to /Volumes/ThatOtherDrive in the home of the user directory. Works great, no overhead (it's a file system operation).

ln -s  /Volumes/OtherDrive otherdrive

I have a mixed PC mac home network. Currently, a W2000
PC serves as file and print server but I'd like to
phase that out and replace it with a Gigabit G4. This
I have setup with a smallish boot drive and two 180Gb
SATA drives (mirrored) hooked to a Sonnet Tempo PCI
card.

Under Tiger, I have set up a "guest' account for
everybody to log in as, but whne I log in I can't see
the SATA drives. What do I have to do to allow others
to r/w files on the 180Gb mirror?

Should I be looking for   osx server s/w?

John
