Sharing...

Have you ever tried to set up a share point using the command line?

Why would you do this?

Well, I thought that there must be a way to copy share points after a clean install.

So, how do we find out what is being shared:

Enter this command:
sharing -l

This gives you something like this:

name: Software
path: /Volumes/Backup/Software
afp: {
name: Software
shared: 1
guest access: 0
inherit perms: 1
}
ftp: {
name: Software
shared: 0
guest access: 0
}
smb: {
name: Software
shared: 0
guest access: 0
inherit perms: 0
oplocks: 0
strict locking: 0
directory mask: 493
create mask: 420
}


In order to set up this share point again after a clean install one would have to enter this command:
sharing -a /Volumes/Backup/Software -g 000 -i 10 -s 100
