Sharepoints works great! My Linux laptop and my iMac can exchange and work with files with no problem. My old network works just like it always did - no problems!

Re: [CGUYS] Sharepoints
Tom, I'm looking at this to control file sharing with a Linux laptop. I currently have a small network (an iMac running 10.4.11, a MacBook Pro running 10.5.6, and PowerBook which can run/boot either 10.2.8 or OS 9). I would install it on my iMac. Do you know if it would affect my current network? Tom Piwowar wrote: Does anyone know anything about the program/utility Sharepoints for the Mac? It works great on Macs prior to OS X.5 (Leopard). It provides an easy GUI for configuring the Mac's NetInfo database to share files. It is free. It does not avoid the OS's limitation of 10 connections, for more you need to buy the $1,000 server version of the Mac OS. Apple added its own easy to use file sharing in OS X.5. It also eliminated the NetInfo database so Sharepoints was left high and dry. * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** * * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *

That should make it a happy little network. * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *
