SharePoints is an application or a preference pane that makes it easy to add and delete share points like in the old Finder. In Mac OS X, by default, you are limited to sharing only what is in your public folder in your home directory. This program makes it easy to share any folder. In addition SharePoints also brings back users and groups management to Mac OS X as well as easy configuration of AppleFileServer (AFS) and Samba (SMB) Server properties.
What's New
Version 3.5.4:
Updated to be a Universal application (PowerPC and Intel native).
I just installed Sharepoints on an older G4 400mhz Powermac running Mac OS 10.3.9 and couldn't be more happy. The program is relatively easy to set-up, and very stable. If all you need from your server is simple file sharing, then Sharepoints pretty much is all you need and makes OS X server software overkill. And to top it all of, you cannot beat the price!

Has anyone tried using Sandbox? It allows you to edit ACLs on Tiger. Could this be eaiser to use than SharePoints?
It looks like I turned on one to many optimzation flags in the compiler. As a result, SharePoints 3.5.2 is crashing on launch on G3s (at least that is what have been able to gather so far). If you are having trouble with version 3.5.2 crashing please email me at hornware@hornware.com with your machine type and the crash reporter log.

3.5.2 is buggy. It's not working on 10.4.1

3.5.2 does not work with Tiger 10.4.1. Error in the preference and the app will not load.
An amazing piece of software, we donated $20 per machine we use it on - 15 in total.
Hint - if you want to create File Sharing Only users, and don't want them to appear in the Login Window, use an ID below 500. I used 400 - 415 and the machines it is installed on are perfect.
Once again, completely recommended.

Great app. Although I've had a problem with AFS server not starting up after reboots. I can't see anything within the app which could cause this so it must be a bug.

SharePoints has just solved all of my problems … I think! If any problems crop up I'll be sure to let you know!
I have used SharePoints before with success, but running into problem on 3.5.4 and Tiger 10.4.7. I cannot get the local computer to be considered part of the specified group. In the app it shows up correctly.
When I create a folder remotely, I am locked out locally, even though the local user is part of the group "staff".
The only way to get access for the local user is to all 'everyone' r/w privis, but that's not a solution.
