I have multiple users set up on my
computer, and it's working great. But I
want to make a folder that only 2 users
have access to. I tried making an alias to
a folder on the hard drive and putting it in
their documents folders, and they were
able to access it fine, but I could not figure
out how to set the access privilages so
that they could write to it. Can anyone tell
me how to give these two users access
privilages to a folder that none of the other
restricted users will be able to get to?

Go to the terminal window and use unix to change the privileges.

shared folder under users is best bet. all have access. os 9 does not support unix style file privileges. there is no command line
