TOPIC
In Macintosh Manager for Mac OS X Server, some features of At Ease 5.0 have been removed, while others have changed. This article describes the most relevant of these changes.
DISCUSSION Removed
2. Web Access 3. Guardian Passwords - Guardians have been removed from Macintosh Manager. This was a concept that was mostly useful with the web access feature of At Ease 5.0. 4. Clues - In previous versions of At Ease, the administrator was provided a text string to be used as a clue to their passwords. With security becoming an increasing concern, this has been removed. 5. Attach Sounds - In all prior versions of At Ease, the administrator could attach sounds to the items that appeared on the brown panel in the Panels environment. These sounds would play when the mouse was passed over the button for an item with an attached sound. The new panels environment of Macintosh Manager does not support this feature. 6. Prevent users from accessing the hard drive by booting from a floppy or other removable media. Changed
2. Special Folders - Special folders are a way of customizing certain folders on workstations to have a specific set of privileges. For example, on Machine A, which might be the "teacher station" in normal use, you might want one folder that exists here to contain items that only a certain workgroup could access (like, maybe, the Teacher workgroup). The special folders feature has been pared down to include one folder per workgroup. 3. Panels - The Panels environment has been updated and rewritten primarily to be more consistent with new visual aspects of the Mac OS. |
