Mac OS X Server 10.3, 10.4: Administrator sees share points, not
volumes
When an administrator logs on via Apple File Service (AFP), she
is presented with the server share points. This differs from version
10.2 behavior, in which the server's volumes were presented. Learn how
to switch between share points and volumes.
Note: To change the behavior for 10.2 server, see technical document 107621.
You can change this behavior by editing the preference file
"com.apple.AppleFileServer". In that file, the value for the property
"admin31GetsSp" may be set to true or false. It is true by default.
Changing it to false will cause volumes to be presented when an
administrator logs on via AFP. Though you may edit the file in any text
editor of choice, the quickest way is to use the "defaults" command in
Terminal. Follow these steps at the server:
1. In Server Admin, stop Apple File Service.
2. Open Terminal (/Applications/Utilities/).
3. Type:
sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.AppleFileServer admin31GetsSp false
4. Press Return.
5. Enter your administrator password when prompted, and press Return.
6. Quit Terminal.
7. Restart Apple File Service.
Remote administration
If you need to administer remotely, you may use the above command in an
ssh session. Alternatively, you may also use this command:
sudo serveradmin settings afp:admin31GetsSp = no
