[comp.sys.mac.system] Gatekeeper & Sys 7 filesharing incompatible?

tim@netlab.cis.brown.edu (Timothy Miller) (03/27/91)

With system 7.0b4, if I have Gatekeeper installed and try to turn file sharing
on, the mac hangs after several tens of seconds (while it's still trying to
start up file sharing). Without Gatekeeper installed, file sharing starts up and
works fine. (This is Gatekeeper 1.1.1, BTW.) This happens even if I turn on all
privileges for the Finder in Gatekeeper. From a superficial check in MacsBug,
it looks like the mac is waiting for net activity which it never gets (it hangs
in a 2-instruction loop waiting for a mem location to change). Is this happening
for anyone else? Is it a bug with 7.0b4 or Gatekeeper (or both)?

Chris Johnson will be releasing a new version of GateKeeper as soon
as possible; this version fixes the problem between GK and System 7
file sharing.  Details are in an upcoming Info-Mac Digest.
