[QUOTE="Steelgrave, post: 821742, member: 89807"] Hi all, I'm hoping this is me being a noob with OSX and not a security "feature". When I enable File Sharing and allow smb, OSX seems to allow full read/write access to the entire drive from a vista machine without any authentication required. Under "Users" for File Sharing, only my OSX account has read/write, and "Everyone" specifically has no access. Under options for smb only my osx account is listed. The only folder listed for sharing is my account's "public" folder. However from 2 different vista machines I can get into anywhere and read/write without any authentication. This can't really be this insecure can it? LOL What am I doing wrong??? Edit: This is OSX 10.5.6 with the latest updates. [/QUOTE]
