Chapter 9 Working with File Services 135
To create a share point that uses AFP, FTP, and SMB/CIFS protocols:
Enter the following command, replacing 100GB with the name of the volume
containing the share point and Archive with the actual share point name:
$ sharing -a /Volumes/
100GB
/
Archive
To create a share point that appears differently for different users:
Enter the following command, replacing 100GB with the name of the volume
containing the share point and Windows with the actual share point name so that it
appears as WinDocs for server management purposes, and Documents for SMB/CIFS
file service users:
$ sharing -a /Volumes/100GB/Windows\ Docs -n WinDocs -S Documents -s 001
-o 1
This share point is shared using only the SMB/CIFS protocol with oplocks enabled.
