OK, I'll admit it. I don't get it.

I want to give a folder read/write access to all the people on the network.

I don't want to give access to the entire User's Home, and I want OS 9 clients to also be able to see just this folder.

If I make new accounts on the Server, how do they all get to use the same folder?

Isn't the Public folder a little insecure?

What I've done at the moment is have all Clients login with the Servers ID, the Network disk set to not show on the desktop, but an alias of the 1 folder I do want the clients to use is on their desktop... which is all they see. (the log/pass is in their keychain, so they only have Open the alias for their computer to login...

It just all seems a little unwieldly...
