You now have an Mac OS X Server 10. 6 set up and configured to act as a file server for your environment. The settings and steps you have just followed are more in depth than the automatic configuration, because in part the goals are to make sure you have some understanding of what goes into creating the server and to best position you for adding to the server in the future. Through this chapter we touched on some areas of best practices (such as keeping your boot volume separate from your data volume), went through basic DNS setup, showed how to create an Open Directory master, and explained how to set up a basic file sharing service. The rest of the book will go more in depth with those features and also cover other aspects and features available in Mac OS X Server 10. 6. 45 Chapter 3 Getting Deeper into File Sharing We covered a lot in the previous chapter: the installation of Mac OS X Server 10. 6, the initial configuration of Mac OS X Server 10. 6, some rather strange things like Open Directory and DNS, and the basics of user management and file sharing management. In this chapter, we?ll go deeper into file sharing, since that?s one of the basic things a server does: share files to users.
