Creating a Guest User Account

Renaming Volumes

Novell Native File Access Protocols let you create a Guest User object.
Macintosh users are accustomed to being able to log in as Guest with no
password required.
1
From the Administrator Workstation, use ConsoleOne to create a User
object named Guest.
2
Determine and assign the appropriate rights to the Guest object by
double-clicking the Guest object and then clicking Rights to Files and
Folders.
3
Remove the ability for the user to change the password by clicking
Restrictions and then unchecking Allow User to Change Password.
4
Enable the Guest account by adding the full NDS context of the Guest
object to the context search file as described in
Search File" on page
5
Unload and reload the AFPTCP.NLM program with the GUESToption to
make the Guest button available on the login screen.
Any Macintosh user can now log in as Guest with no password and receive the
access rights assigned to the Guest object.
Volumes can be renamed so that they appear in Chooser under a different
name.
1
Using any text editor, create a file named AFPVOL.CFG.
2
On separate lines, enter the current name of the volume and, in quotes, the
new name of the volume. For example:
server1.sys "System Volume"
server1.img "Graphics"
#The above volume contains image files.
NOTE:
The pound sign (#) marks a line as a comment.
3
Save the file in the SYS:\ETC directory of the server running Novell
Native File Access Protocols.
Once the volume has been renamed, it keeps the name even if you delete
the file and restart the server. To return to the previous name, repeat these
steps and rename the volume to its original name.
