appleshare guest access on by default.

How can I disable guest access all together on my system? I know removing the rw access to the public folder tightens, but the idea of guest login alone makes me uncomfortable.

this pertains to the guest access "public dropbox" enabled by default over afpovertcp.

Ok so I looked into it a bit more.

In netinfo config/AppleFileServer change the guest_access value from 1 to 0 and restart appleshare.


Still don't know why this was left on by default.

I'm curious: those who have access to Mac OS X Server, what is the AppleFileServer defaults? Here is the default configuration on the non-server version (which is very permissive, in my estimation. I can't believe the Server version would be this lax!):

cabbage--you're on OS X Server, right? Can you do an niutil -read . /config/AppleFileServer or tell us what the OS X Server defaults are?
