Hi,

At my office, we use an external FireWire drive connected to an iMac
for short term storage and sharing of files. The iMac's running Mac OS
9.2.2. Everybody that wants to use this disk logs in with the same
name and password. The disk has been shared by placing it inside the
shared items field of the file sharing control panel. This is the only
disk people can acces by logging in, the other partitions in the
computer remain invisible to them.

The problem now is that more and more people use Mac OS X nowadays,
and they encounter problems when they want to copy files with long
filenames to the shared disk.

I have installed Mac OS X on a seperate partion on the iMac and would
like to achieve the same functionality as described above. So users
should be able to acces the external disk with a log-in name and a
password (which should the same for everybody) without being able to
acces any other partition over the network.

Is this possible?

Kind regards,
Jasper
