I'm new to the whole file sharing in OS X. It was quite easy in OS 9, but I'm lost now.
How can I : create a shared folder on my computer so that Guests can connect to it, and have the Guests access an alias to a folder on my computer?
I've tried searching for this on previous posts to no avail. Thanks so much for your help

First turn on file sharing in the sharing panel in System prefs.

In OS X (standard version) you can only share your home directory (or to guests, you can only share the public directory in your home directory).
Turning on file sharing turns this on for all home directories. Admins can also get at the entire disk by file sharing.
If you want more flexibility than this, I think you have to use OS X server.
OR
Install a SAMBA server (free) and share using SMB instead of AppleShare. OS X has a built in SMB client, just not the server. And SMB is compatible with Windows (it comes from Windows) whereas AppleShare is not.

Or look out for Sharepoints at versiontracker and have total control over your users, groups, sharing settings and plenty more.
