SBAdmin SMB host, can access files on the system.
1. From the Apple menu, select System Preferences...
2. In the Internet & Network section, click on Sharing.
3. Check the Windows Sharing box, or highlight Windows Sharing and press Start.
By enabling access to the user’s home directory, any Windows user on the
network will have access to ALL files in the user’s home directory, if they
have the username and password.
