I have file sharing on for a few folders of shareware and public domain stuff. I have these folders permitted to "guest", because I don't mind letting whoever wants to pick the stuff up. I then find myself in the situation where I have people sharing my folders, but no way of knowing who or where they are. It would be nice if the File Sharing Monitor could tell me something like: <Guest> from Don's Mac <Guest> from Bill's Mac instead of listing <Guest> multiple times. Is there any way to do that? - - - - - - - - Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@rpi.edu or gad@eclipse.its.rpi.edu ITS Systems Programmer (handles NeXT-type mail) Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute; Troy NY USA

It's another security inconvenience, to say the least.

I would like an audit trail of: #times a given shared folder has been linked to lasttime a shared folder was linked to (and perhaps) person who last linked to each shared folder I'd also like to know the last time the *owner* linked to the machine, and from where. The owner is me, and if I'm linking from somewhere else it would be nice to know... that would require a constant amount of disk space, instead of having an ever-expanding logfile somewhere. I hate ever-expanding log files, because I usually forget about them until I run out of space... But I'd be happy enough just to have some way to find out who is actively linked to my shared folders... - - - - - - - - Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.its.rpi.edu ITS Systems Programmer (handles NeXT-type mail) Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute; Troy NY USA
