Perhaps the situation is more complicated than this, but if not, then there are two places where users and passwords can be set. First, in the File Sharing control panel, you can give the computer an owner and password. So, on the IIci, open the file sharing dialog. You should be able to change the owner and password there. If you do that, you should be able to log on to the IIci from the Umax by giving that username and password when the chooser asks from it. Second, the users and groups control panel (the Multiple Users control panel in OS 9.1), allows you to add users to your machine and give them the privilege to mount your volumes or folders. On the IIci, open the users & groups control panel and create a new user and give it a password. You should then be able to mount volumes and folders shared on the IIci from the Umax using one of the new user names and passwords. I hope that it is that simple for you.
