5 Click the New User button at the upper-left side of the window to create a new user.
A new user is added to the Users & Groups List, and a User window appears.
6 Type your new user’s name in the Name text box.
The name can be up to 27 characters long and is not case-sensitive.
The name is also used by the Mail Server to identify the user when his or her e-mail
application logs on to the Mail Server.
7 To assign this user a password, type it in the Password text box.
Assigning a password is highly recommended, and required for some client e-mail and FTP
applications. A password can be up to eight characters long and is case-sensitive. For each
character that you type, a bullet appears, so it is important to record what you type. (Be sure
to note whether the Caps Lock key is pressed.)
For increased security, use eight-character passwords with a combination of letters and
numbers.
If this user will be using the Mail Server, don’t use spaces and special characters. (Some client
mail applications do not handle special characters or spaces.)
8 To give this user an Internet alias when logging on to an AppleShare IP server, enter a name
in the Internet Alias text box.
Important If this user will be connecting to the Web & File Server for Windows file sharing
services, enter the name that the user enters to log on to his or her Windows computer.
