    I *think* this is unavailable through basic filesharing. I believe that checking off File Sharing or Windows File Sharing in the Systems Preferences only makes the Public folders available.



    Apple says the work around is to log in as admin from the client computer:

    Sorry about the spew, but the javascript button for inserting a tag seems to be missing tonight for me...as are reply buttons, but I was able to fake it and make this post.
