Hey all-

I am upgrading my home network as I just bought a new house, and I wanted to (aside from sharing my internet connection) share a drive so all users could back up data to it, and share music files, etc.

My current understanding is that in OSX, sharing a non-startup drive is only available to users logging in as admin. I tried logging in as a non admin, and only that users home directory is available. When I log in to my powermac as an admin, all drives show up.

So, either I let all users log in as admins to back up to the second drive on my powermac, or I get a networked drive solution like linksys NAS or martian technology but thats like $400, and I have drive space available on my tower.

Also, WHY CAN'T I SHARE REMOVEABLE VOLUMES??!!?? I could in OS9 (not that I'd ever go back).

Any suggestions/advice on how to accomplish this goal?

Have you tried SharePoints ? It may do what you need.

Thanks a BUNCH! This is exactly what I needed, I should've checked VT before I posted - seems these days anything you need for OSX has been made - the shareware revolution!
