[comp.protocols.appletalk] AFP and 3+Open Security problem

pkilllea@vax1.tcd.ie (01/20/91)

How do I prevent users from making shared files/applications etc on an 
Appleshare server locked, or worse, invisible.  I've put the files in folders
where everyone except myself (the owner) has see files/see folders but not
make changes privileges.  The Appleshare Volume is on a 3Com 3+Open Server
so I gave all users apart from myself just the 'r' privilege from the Lan
Manager end.  Finally I tried locking the files under OS/2 and under a Dos
Window on the server.  But still anyone with DiskTop, ResEdit or equivalent
can unlock/lock the files at will, and click them invisible, then make them
visible again.  This is very frustrating, especially as, in a teaching/academic
environment such as mine the users (ie. students) will mess things up if
they find that there is a loophole.  

Suggestions please - (anyone out there from 3Com who knows of any forthcoming
changes in security on AFP volumes ?)

Many Thanks,
