AppleShare 1.0 & 1.1 did have a problem where a malicious user could steal
someone's folder.  Even though s/he couldn't open the folder s/he could
prevent the legitmate owner from gaining access as well.

AppleShare 2.0, which was recently announced, allows the owner of a folder
to set a flag prohibiting it from being moved, which prevents the folder
from being held hostage.

Are there other ways in which a malicious user can cause problems with
AppleShare?
