I tried to set up the guest user in CAP's Aufs with no luck. There
must be something I am doing wrong.

I figured the best way to do this was to make the guest id "nobody"
and make a system-wide volume that was in my home directory (this
may be the problem). So I created a file called .pubafpvols in my
home directory which contained the line:

~resnick/PublicMacFiles:Public Disk

Then I changed start-cap-servers to read:

/usr/local/lib/cap/aufs -V ~resnick/.pubafpvols -G nobody

When the Appleshare dialog comes up, I get the choice of registered
user or guest. When I choose guest, the "choose your disk" box pops
up, but there is nothing in the list of volumes. What's the matter
here? Even when I log in as myself (I have a .afpvols in my home
directory which has "~resnick/MyMacFiles:Pete's Disk" in it), there is
no system volume.

Thanks,
pr
