-===== Config guest user ===== 
-In system Preferences >> Accounts: 
-enable the guest account 
-disable automatic login 
-===== Alternative setup ===== 
-The mac named "​river"​ has had AD logon enabled on it.  ACM users can use there AD account on this machine. 
-I was working on shared home directories with ACM, but the problem I ran into is the UID's are not consistant. ​ The ACM server uses likewise to handle AD auth, and likewise uses it own hasing method to generate uid'​s. ​ Apple uses a different hashing method. ​ Apple has the option to use the UID from another field, ​ so I enabled unix services for AD on the AD server. ​ Likewise does not seem to have a similar option. ​ In the next server upgrade, I am going to recomend not using likewise, and using the AD server as a standard LDAP server for authentication and authorization. 
-====== Other machines ====== 
-There are 3 G4 mac workstations available for use in the acm office. 
-Another G4 is used to host the library server. ​ It currently displays a pictures slide-show. 3 more G4 mac machines are now set up in the ACM office for use.
