AFP cannot mount localhost

Hi Guys.

I’m using a mini as both a server and a workstation serving to a few clients only. I’d like to use portable homes and allow users to log into the mini to work.

The issue I have is that afp server (and smb ) will not allow a mount to localhost. This means that I cannot use portable homes as the system will not allow the home dir to be mounted as it resolves to localhost.

I’m hoping there is a plist or serveradmin setting that can bypass this feature.

thanks
