Extra security

AppleShare 3.0 enables your computer to verify that a file server is valid

before a connection is made. Additionally, your network administrator can

require that passwords be a minimum length and be changed at regular

intervals. The administrator can also disable a connection after a certain

number of failed log-on attempts. These requirements keep your data secure by

making it more difficult for unauthorized users to gain access to the file

server.
