Panther and the forgetful Personal File Sharing

[Clark Martin]

I've got four machines that are running Panther with the same 
problem.  Three are PowerBooks and one is a Tower (which is why I'm 
crossposting to the PowerBook GX list).  The all work well with one 
exception.  The setting for Personal File Sharing in the File Sharing 
system preference doesn't stick.  I'll turn it on then do a restart 
and poof, it's off.

Two of the machines are brand new and very clean (little or no third 
party stuff).  The other two had OS X recently installed and are 
likewise clean.

I can vaguely recall hearing something about this but of course 
that's about all I can recall about it, hearing of it.  File Sharing 
works fine and it starts up manually okay following a restart but 
that's not good.

All four are on either on a wireless or wired connection to a router 
(they are on two distinct networks).  I've set this up on OS X.2 with 
no problems.

Does anyone know about this?

TIA
