Apple Mac OS X Server (Administrator’s Guide) - Manual (Page 413)

Client Management: Mac OS 9 and OS 8 413
Depending upon the computer being used, the network configuration, and access privileges,
the user may have access to various resources such as printers, applications, and volumes.
Settings for the computer, the workgroup, and the user determine the final set of privileges
and preferences that define the user experience for an individual.
Logging In Using the All Other Users Account
Users who have a Mac OS X user account but have not been imported into Macintosh Manager
can type their Mac OS X Server user names and passwords in the Macintosh Manager login
dialog box. If the All Other Users account belongs to more than one workgroup, the user can
select a workgroup from a list. Otherwise, login continues automatically.
Logging In Using the Guest Account
Any user can log in as Guest, provided that the Guest account has been activated. The
Guest account does not require password authentication. If the Guest account belongs to
more than one workgroup, the user can select a workgroup from a list. Otherwise, login
continues automatically.
Locating the Home Directory
User home directories are mounted automatically when a user logs in. A folder with the
user’s name on it appears on the desktop or on a panel depending upon the workgroup
type. The user’s home directory is located inside the Users folder.
Guest users have a temporary local home directory for storing files or preferences.
