A simple way to set up a basic workgroup file server
Authored by: JimMueller on Tue, May 20 2008 at 1:48PM PDT

We stumbled on this method back when we were running MacOS 10.2 on our file server & G4 Sawtooth and 9 on the TiBook. The small workgroup was my wife & I, and it resolved all the "you can not edit this file" & "you do not have sufficient rights to view the contents of this folder" alerts that were driving her bonkers.
I looked at SharePoints but as I do not speak the language of real servers its jargon appeared beyond me at the time.
