Apple File Service Specifications
Before You Set Up Apple File Service
If you asked the Server Assistant to configure Apple file service when you installed Mac OS X
Server, you don’t have to do anything else to use Apple file service. However, you should
check to see if the default settings meet all your needs. The following section steps you
through each of the Apple file service settings.
Setting Up Apple File Service
You set up Apple file service by configuring four groups of settings in the Configure Apple
File Service window:
m General—set information that identifies your server, enable automatic startup, and create
a login message for Apple file service
m Access—set up client connections and guest access
m Logging—configure and manage logs for Apple file service
m Idle Users—configure and administer idle user settings
The following sections describe the tasks for configuring these settings. A fifth section tells
you how to start up Apple file service after you have completed its configuration.
