Thank you for your answer, but my problem is not the shortcut in the sidebar. In the Finder when you type cmd+K and connect to a server you see all the sharepoint of the server those you don't have access. I would like hide sharpoint in which I haven't acces.

I want authentication and home directories to be served by the leo server. The leo server happens to also be running: AFP DNS iCal NFS Open Directory Print SMB Software Update Web Nothing is too critical, as it is for my home. I am trying to be cheap and use what I have, rather than buy something new. The only thing that I really want to do, is allow the children to watch Netfix on Demand, which they cannot do on the Pro Mac, as it is a G4. I...

Anyone ? Really ?!?

Hi, I have a network that runs on Active Directory, and a room full of PowerMacs that are connected to the AD. I also have an XServe that has 2TB of storage specifically for this room (a media room). What I want to do is have the macs authenticate users against active directory, but not use the normal home drive/profile specified in AD, instead using a home directory hosted on the XServe. Do many people do this, have separate home directories...

Well, I bought it and now I am trying to set it up. For me it is the first time I am on mac server (or any other) so it is quite difficult. Beside having the standard problems like AddressBookServer and iCalServer I ran into a problem caused by having a normal user on the system: I set up all network users without any problem. I installed the user of server in the local node. I did not succeed in mixing local and network accounts in one...

Seems that it is getting very hard to enjoy server services as a local user on the server. Yep, that part is tricky and requires manually fiddling in the advanced setup areas. There is no requirement that a network user be somewhere else - if you need to share groups, log into the server as a network user.
