RE: [cobalt-users] Help with Apple file share on Qube3

["Ken Montenegro" <kmontenegro@xxxxxxxxx>]

When you figure the problem w/ OS 9.2 and X in the chooser, let me know as I
had planned to move all Power Macs to OS X only to realize in a test
(whew!), that I could not browse the server through the chooser.

I did the "atalk status" command and it claimed to be running fine, thanks
for asking.

More information: The unexpected reboot appears to have been a power
flicker, I assume, since the uptime on my desktop machine matched the
uptime on the Qube minute for minute.

Mac users can connect to shares on the Qube using the server's (subnet) IP
address; however, it doesn't appear in the Chooser (OS 9.x) nor is it
found in the OS X server menu.

I will probably take advantage of this to install a bunch of patches
requiring reboots which I had been putting off; perhaps those reboots will
clear up any lingering problems.
