I have configured a QuickSilver G4 with some big harddrives to act as Server. I want to place it in garage as a "headless" machine, just power and ethernet hooked up to it. I have 10.5.2 on the QuickSilver (with the help of Leopard Assist).
I want to control it via "Screen Sharing" from a MacBook Pro and manipulate it for "File Sharing" amongst a handful of Macs (and maybe some PCs). All are on a home network.
Does anyone know a handy site, magazine article, or have notes available on the "ins and outs" of setting up the preferences for these features. I keep going to Help on Apple when working with the Preference panels, but their Help doesn't seem to be enough detail for me to gain a clear understanding. I always have further questions that are not answered in the help. Maybe they bave a "basics" tutorial and I have not yet found it.
I keep getting confused on the detailed nuances of VNC, Users, Everyone, authorized Users, Administrator, etc. I just want to get it all clear in my mind.
