ReadyNAS 312 Mac OS Finder sees SMB, AFP. Strange user names. "Guest"
Hello, Our ReadyNAS appears in 3 ways in the "Shared" section of finder ReadyNAS (AFP) : If connected as the correct user for the AFP, only the shares that the user has available to them are vis...
Thanks for the advice.
What about the odd usenames?
Is it possible to prevent access as 'guest'. I have tried, via telephone support (I'm a powershift partner) changing file access permissions to admin (owner) and user (group) for these shares, unticked "guest" and it has blocked Readycloud users from modifying the content! Are Readycloud users "guests"?
It's getting messy.

So try going into network access, and disable anonymous access, and everyone access there. Then enable read/write access for the groups you want.
Network access is set per protocol, so you need to do this both for SMB and AFP.
