The three message types are:
- Greeting Message
AppleShare displays this message at log-on, to inform users of server contents, backup policies, or other news.
- User Message
The administrator can send a custom message to a User or Group.
- Disconnect User
The administrator can send a message to a group of connected users explaining the reason for shut down, or announcing the time service will be restored. The administrator can disconnect a user or group of users without bringing the server down. Disconnection can happen immediately or after a designated time interval.
