  • File sharing switces to "off" with every reboot. why?

    From JF Mezei@21:1/5 to All on Wed Aug 11 02:09:50 2021
    High Sierra
    in the System app, choose "Sharing", authenticate,
    turn file sharing on. Click "options", SMB is already on, but must turn
    on AFP. There is an entry to associate my account to a directory sof
    SMB purposes.

    Works fine.

    Window Server crashes the mac, or short power interruption, Mac reboots,
    and file sharing is back to "off". When I turn it back on, SMB is on in
    the options but not AFP, and SMB association for my account remains
    (lather, rinse repeat).


    Why does it go back to "off" at every reboot? and is there a way to stop
    this so it remains on by default when I reboot and log back in?

    Try an experiment.

    Backup your system.
    Reboot.
    Is SMB file sharing turned on or off?

    I don't use SMB but Apple File Sharing and it's still on when I reboot on my 10.13.16 system.
