Public Shares

Ahh.  Guest Access.  As Andrew once patiently explained (and I've since
lost the document), you really need to have two servers when using
'security=user' in order for guest and non-guest access to work.



However,  have a look at the _compile_ time paramter GUESTSESSETUP (or
somesuch) and I thin kyou'll find that setting it to '1' or '2' may give
you the behaviour you desire (albeit at a slight cost, which I can't
recall).


	Best of luck,
