According to the help file for Mac accessible volumes for Win2k, you
cannot nest mac volumes.

BUt all it makes reference to is *Mac* volumes.

I have a Win2k server with:

D:\workgroups shared as a Windows share only.

I want to make

D:\workgroups\mygroup a Mac and Win share...when I do, Windows lets me
do it without complaint, but I don't see it in the list of Appleshare
volumes.

Is this a consequence of the 'No nested shares' rule, or am I doing
something else wrong?

When I tried to explicitly create a nested Mac share I get an error
message, So I suspect it's something else.

The share is _listed_ as a Mac share when I look at the list of shares
in Computer Manager.

Now for the real weirdness...this was a share accessible by only Domain
Administrators. When I tried this (hesitantly!) on a normal workgroup
folder, it worked.

The Domain Administrator share also showed up, finally, when I added my
user explicitly to the share permissions, even though I'm a *member* of
Domain Administrators

Summary:

Share D:\workgroups\managers <- Share perms only Domain Administrators

It works, no error, but doesn't show in Chooser.

Share D:\workgroups\managers <- Share perms Domain Admins and user Johnson

It works, no error and does show in Chooser.

Share D:\workgroups\other <- Share perms Domain Admins, OtherWG

It works and does show in Chooser.

Is this a Domain Admins kinda thing only, an exception case and so can
be ignored, or is there something else going on?
