I had to reinstall my system after more than a year of stability. I think I will have to avoid installing third party programs and system extensions.

Making custom AFP shares

I hate to make temporary users and set passwords. I have made a small shell script to help me making custom AFP shares. How to use it (from Terminal): $ mkafpshare.sh sharename /path/of/directory/to/share You will have to type in an administrator password (script uses sudo), then turn off and on Personal File Sharing in System Preferences/Sharing.
