Well, one way I found out is to run 'AppleFileServer' as root, but I'd much prefer to be able to start it with administrative user instead, and I don't see why it requires root when I can start it without typing in a password in System Preferences.
Any other way?

I just started it with my admin user. You can't?

Nope 
The man pages say it needs to be started by root too though... Did you do anything special to your system?

Ah, my mistake. I figured it would die immediately, but apparently it starts up and shuts off after a few seconds.

well that's the thing, I don't want to have to type in the password. But I solved the problem. I wanted to start the server automatically using a crontab, and so I just put the command in the system crontab.

Maybe I'm ignorant, but why do you need to consistently start the server in the crontab? What's wrong with leaving it on?

I tried running this AppleScript:
Code:
tell application "Finder"
do shell script "/usr/sbin/AppleFileServer -l myusername -p mypassword"
end tell
but it didn't appear to work. Filesharing is still checked "on" in the System Preferences. What am I missing?
