[comp.sys.mac.system] Singleshare Problems

rc3h+@andrew.cmu.edu (Ross Ward Comer) (01/25/91)

I am trying to get SingleShare v0.9b11 running on my SE/30 (4M RAM)
without success.  I have followed the directions very carefully (run as
an application under Multifinder, installed Desktop Manager, set files
to over 20 using Suitcase, set up users, groups, and folders, Appletalk
v53, etc) to no avail.

The server appears on the network and users can log on with the correct
passwords (or guest logon).  The problem is that after selecting the
volumes to mount and pressing Return (or just double clicking), the
folders never mount; nothing appears under the disk icons previously
there.  The user is put back to choosing a server.  No error, no
message, no volume.  Other servers (real Appleshare servers and
Singleshare) mount without problem, therefore the problem must be on the
server side.

One interesting thing is that if a folder is selected as a startup
volume, a "(foldername) needs minor repairs" dialog is displayed on
startup.  Clicking either Ok or No does nothing.

Anyone have any suggestions (System 7.0b is not a correct answer :-)? 
Thanks in advance.

I haven't tried it, but you might want to pick up the latest version
0.9b16 available via ftp from iraun1.ira.uka.de in the pub/mac directory.
