What are the conditions under which current Mac viruses can
infect files on Appleshare volumes?

  a.  All ashare files are susceptible if volume is mounted
      to an infected Mac.
  b.  Only files in write- AND read-enabled folders are
      susceptible.
  c.  Files in write-enabled folders are susceptible (read
      access doesn't matter).
  d.  Files in read-enabled folders are susceptible (write
      access doesn't matter).
  e.  Gee, the students are back in town, better lock up your
      file servers.
