Hi,

When you define a ibay as public and beloging to a group, users should to be able to access that ibay using regular user/password.
I don´t think use ibay name as username and ibay password it´s a intuitive thing!

I definetly agree to that - as a fileserver, sme is - in my mind - designed to be some kind of NT substitue - which it does quite well except the missing feature mentioned in Jáder s post.

I believe they can. Ask the users to log in using their normal username/password, then do:

cd ../../ibays/xxx

They will then be in the i-bay named xxx. Is this not the case?

Charlie,

I was thinking about internet access. A employee  in somewhere in world
could access web page of company and click on a PRIVATE link and after
authenticate access some private pages (an ibay) where it can update
internal databases (or see private info!)

I don´t think use ibay name as username is a natural matter of do things.
But I can understand it´s easier to deploy! And I understand i´m using a
free version SO I do not complain too much!
But I know users (being one by myself too!), and they don´t like to
remember SEVERAL passwords. Whe we force them to remember several password they can do two things: use allways same password or use weak passwords like birth dates!

Your product it´s wonderful and get better every day. I was just trying to
help you to do it even better on the only way I can (because I´m NOT a
programmer!)
