Network Shares
Typically, you will find the CyberGuard SG appliance’s web cache most useful when
utilizing a Network Share for additional storage space. The CyberGuard SG appliance is
not equipped with a hard disk of its own, so is quite limited in terms of the amount of
Internet objects it can cache.
A network share is a shared folder or drive on a local Windows PC, or a PC running
another operating system capable of SMB sharing (such as a Linux PC running the
SAMBA service).
Refer to your operating system’s documentation for details on creating a network share.
What follows are some basic instructions for creating a network share under Windows
XP.
Create a new user account
Note
We recommend that you create a special user account to be used by the CyberGuard SG
appliance for reading and writing to the network share. If you have an existing account or
wish to may the network share readable and writeable by everyone, you may skip the
next step.
To create an account, click Start
->
Control Panel
->
User Accounts
->
Create a
new account. Type a name for the new account, e.g. sguser, and click Next. Typically
it will be sufficient to grant this account Limited privileges. Click Create Account to
create it. Select the account you have just create under Pick an account to change.
Select Create a password. Enter and confirm a password for this account, as well as a
password hint if desired.
