- FileSharing is a MacOS "utility" and so, for A/UX to provide for it,
- the MacOS environment must be running. Now the MacOS "running" during
- the Login screen is a _very_ minimal one. This is due to the fact that
- it's sole existance is to "run" the Login program. It's also very
- concerned about security (that's why you can't access Control Panels
- and the like). So, you can't run FileSharing under the Login program
- (nor could you run it in the straight Console mode or X11)...
