OSXFAQ Mac OS X Tip-of-the-Day 
Apple File Server (AFS) - Add Share Points
By Adrian Mayo - Editor - OSXFAQ
Share directories over AFS.
When you enable Personal File Sharing (in System Preferences -
Sharing), users on other (client) machines are able to connect to your
(host) machine and mount selected volumes. By default, the list of
volumes presented to the client consists of the home directory of each
user on the host. Apple does not provide an easy way to share other
directories such as /Applications or /Users/Shared.
Such "share points" can be added using the NetInfo utility in
/Applications/Utilities. Fire up NetInfo and in the top pane navigate
to / config. Add new entries as show below:
'directory_path' is the full pathname of directory you wish to share
'name' and 'afp_name' are both set to the name of the share. This can
be anything you wish, and will appear as such on the list of volumes in
the client's 'Connect...' dialogue.
If you are not comfortable using NetInfo, see Tuesday's tip.
Tip:
Connect as a non-admin user to test the new share point. Connecting as
an admin user allows you to mount the entire disc, and consequently you
won't see all the individual share points.
Enjoy !! :-)
