I want my wife to have access to many files on my G4 and its connected Firewire disks. She has a G3 iMac with X10.4.3, same as me, and file sharing between the two machines works smoothly either way logged in as the appropriate administrator, ie she can log into my computer with my name and admin password and do anything she likes and me likewise to her computer. Therein lies the problem. I am competent not to damage her files but the same, sad to say, and she would agree with me!, is not the same in reverse. For example, I would hate her to accidentally damage our photo collection, even though it is separately archived. Can I organise "Read only" access for her to those files and disks, Ie how can she connect to my whole computer with other than administrator privileges. I seem to remember how to do this in OS9 but cannot figure it out for X.
