Problems OS6 and AFP?
after years of finding lots of useful information here i finally gave up guest and registered.
i'm not sure this is the right part of the forum but in fact for me os 6 it looks a lot like beta after i sold my first rnd314, got it back from an angry customer after 2 days, tried it myself and sent it back to distribution after hours of frustration.
did somebody tried afp with these new boxes? for us it worked ok with sthe standard shares and guest account but as soon as you start using user/groups with different rights things get really crazy.
you can log in but the share is not displayed correctly in the finder sidebar, when you click on it after logging in you get a authorisation failed. only way to access it is over go to folder /Volumes/sharename
as a cosmetic glitch you get always NAS, NAS(AFP) and NAS(CIFS) in the sidebar, even after disabling smb and time machine.
the point where i lost patience and sent the puppy back was when i called our dealer support at netgear and they said "no, we know nothing about problems, the box is new so we don't have any information". very helpful. don't think this os is ready for primetimes.
first i was angry to have no official way to upgrade my own pro6 and also feared discussion with our customers. know i'm glad there are hurdles and i didn't upgrade already.

You can see in Shares->Settings->Access page, there're several tags like SMB/AFP/NFS/FTP/RSYNC/HTTP, click each tag you can go the specific page for each protocol, and you can set whatever permissions you want for the users or groups.
you're right, i didn't notice the different access settings for different protocols. it now works as expected. thank you for your support.
