Re: Access to disk drives with non-admin clients

We have a system with one OS X 10.2 server and about 20 Jaguar
clients. Each client has a disk with two partitions, one partition
with the system and apps, the other is meant for the users to put
media files. This is to prevent too much data lying on the server.

Now, the problem is: How can a client access the media disk partition
on another client without having to log in as administrator?

Theoretically you would enable file sharing on every single client
machine. This makes pointless the idea of having a file server
machine: files which can be accessed from any machine should really
be on the file server: that's what a file server is for !

In practise accessing files on another machine over a network is
very slow and you probably wouldn't want to use this for media files.
