Where does AppleFileServer store the shares?

Hello all,


I've just set up an AFP share on my Mac OS X 10.4.8 (Client) to be  
mounted by MacOS 9. The problem is, not only the intended share shows  
up on the remote computer, but all the home directories as well.

With SharePoints, the "export" was done in seconds. Setting "Share  
home directory" for each user to NO doesn't work at all, though. *sigh*

Now, to fix the thing manually, I tried to find AppleFileServer's  
configuration files. Googling hinted to /Library/Preferences/ 
com.apple.AppeFileServer.plist, but there is no shares info inside.  
NetInfo doesn't know about /config/AppleFileServer.

Short of grep'ing through the entire hard disk, I'm out of ideas.  
Where is the info stored, which shares are to be provided over AFP,  
or, how would I fix the Home directory issue?


Thanks,
Markus
